It's Saturday. I was supposed to go to a funeral this morning, but I look like I could try out for a horror film. I think I shall save people the horror and stay home! LOL
My husband volunteered to grind meat and put some summer yard stuff away.
The egg board has a few coupons in a limited supply. I reposted it on Facebook. I guess from talking to a lady at work that has chickens, this is the season for mounting and the hens don't lay a lot of eggs. That's probably why they are more expensive lately. Even at a higher price, they are a cheap source of protein. Betty Crocker impossible pie only takes a few for a whole pie. Added cheese and a small amount of meat covers you protein wise with little money.
When I went for the cheese at SAFEWAYS on five dollar Friday, the grated cheese was a smaller package than the brick. And they had sharp for the same price, score!!!!
I like to mix several cheeses to make Mac and cheese. So,eti,es I ise ot for a way to clean put the bits in the cheese drawer. I get a seasoned grated cheese at grocery outlet. Our family all like spicy, so that part of pleasing everyone is easy.
I want to pay between two and two fifty a pound for cheese.
Setting prices on things and not paying full price is another way to reduce your food costs.
I bought six pounds of meat for 2.00 a pound using specials and the 10.00( twenty percent if you plan your trip and spend a total of 50.00. ) coupon.,
My husband ground it. I cooked 5 batches of taco meat, 1 batch of crumbles, and a two pound meatloaf plus beef stock. That would make 5 meals for a typical family for 12.00. Or 2.40 per meal.
That makes a beef meal fall well within the five dollar range. We cooked all that plus putting a roast on the oven on about an hour and a half. We have 12 meals handled for is. For a family of four meat eaters, we would have 8 meals. The roast was 7.12. You can have a roast beef dinner, roast beef a jus sandwiches and still have enough to put in a Cassarole.
Thank you for stopping by
