No ad today.......

Fred Meyers is going to a weekly ad that starts on Wednesdays and goes to the following Tuesday.

We picked up our hamburger order today.   It came in one pound frozen packages.   At least I dont have to package it.   I do have to thaw it before I  cook some for the freezer.    I like to keep a certain amount cooked so that it is simple to make dinner in a hurry.   I can have tacos or enchaladas made in a hurry.   Tacos from cooked hamburger is a good way to stave off the take out demons.  

Chicken can be cooked from frozen in the insta pot.

There is still time for the digital coupons at qfc.   It goes through sunday.  Cheese .99; ground turkey 1.99., brats 1/99 and prego .99.  I have not found a coupon for prego.

Buying things when you dont need them immediately goes along ways to cut your grocery budget.   Cheese and brats can be frozen.   Prego is the start of a cheap dinner.  Add 50 cent spaghetti and some  parm that is .99 a 8 ounce container and you have a good start on dinner.   Meatballs are 2.00 for almost a pound at Winco.   The same ones are 3.50 a almost pound at Safeways.

Its not what you buy as much as it is when and where you buy it.


Frozen blueberries are 3.99 for a pound bag.   They are 2.00 a pound at Costco Business.   They may be that same price at regular costco, I haven’t checked.   That’s half price.  Knowing the best price and buying at the best price is way to cut your food bill.
