Our trip to WinCo

We went to WinCo this week and TOP Foods. WinCo requires you to bag your own foods, so
Bring a buddy to help you. Like any grocery store ,some things are more expensive than elsewhere but the majority of things are cheaper. It is just too far away to go every week.

Prices


Hebrew National HOT DOGS 3.11
Diced Ham 3.58
2large Pork Sirloin 7.98
Tomato on the vine .98
red potatoes 5 # 1.98
refried beans .78
Taco shells .98
Granny smith apples 1.28
Cherries 1.48
Raspberries 1.98
Hunts pasta sauce .78


Total 65.08

Sometimes I get diced ham for cheaper at the grocery outlet. They have it intermittently. Diced ham can go in a chef salad, in an omelet, on pizza, in split pea soup, I can make the bag augment 3 meals.

Hunts pasta sauce can make a pasta dinner inexpensive and fast. Let's cost no brained pasta. Sauce .78, pasta .88, 2 oz cheese (1 cup grated).32, 1/2 # ground beef 1.12
Totals 3.10. Serves 6. .52 a serving.
Add a vegetable and you are still under 4+1 is 5.


I will roast the one of the pork sirloin off and slice for roast pork, or sandwiches. The other one I will cube and braise for stew or soup, or grind for meatloaf mix.

The red potatoes with the eggs that I got for free last week and some of the ham will make a frittatas for well under the 5 bucks. That's 1.30 add field greens and strawberries with a balsamic vinaigrette. 3.30 for the meal.

Seven dinners basically from the above shopping list plus veggies from previous trips that average 5 bucks or less each.


No brainer pasta, veggi
Frittatas, salad
Pizza, green salad ( ham, peppers, )
Roast pork, red potatoes, green beams , fruit salad,

  1. I just read where I am mistaken on cheese stats. 4 ounces of cheese equals a cup.
