Adding to my Pantry

I got some free dog food to add to our pantry. I make most of Oreo's food but I add a 1/4 cup of kibble to it. This will last a while. They are smaller bags which are great for when we travel. 


I was running low on tissues so I went to the Dollar Tree. That is all I bought! I didn't really even look around. Total was $10.87.


I went to Aldi for our weekly shopping. Overall I feel they have the lowest everyday prices. Strawberries were 99¢ each, eggs were 97¢ a dozen, butter was $2.04 a pound. My total for Aldi was $37.96. 


Stop & Shop had chicken drumsticks and thighs on sale for 69¢ a pound so I stopped after work. I got a little over 12 pounds. They didn't really have anything that I wanted on marked downs. I did find buns for 66¢ clearance so I put those in the freezer for burgers one night. I also got my Friday freebie of ice cream. Stop & Shop total was $9.05.



 I also stopped at Meat Farms on my way to work to get more grapes. They were on sale for $1.99 a pound. I spent $4.32. Sorry for no picture. 

My total this week was $62.20. I did submit $1.50 to Ibotta. 

We have been enjoying lots of lettuce and peas from my garden. Peppers just started so those are nice to have fresh too. I am not expecting to need to buy any of these for most of the summer which really helps my budget. I plan my meals around what fresh veggies I have. 

Did you add anything to your pantry?

    Hi Mcoia and you did really well especially on the chicken :) .

    Mainly our additions to our pantry were from picking produce and herbs from the gardens. We picked cherry tomatoes, beetroot, carrots and a heap of thyme, French and English lavender.

    We separated out a lot of dried French and English lavender (gone for a swap) and 319 g of thyme also all gone and sold on the internet in a bulk lot. Things don't last long around here :) .

    Have a great week :).

      Well after your last huge shopping trip you should be good for a while. I was tired just thinking about it. It must save you time overall to do one huge shop every 2 months versus the way I do lots of little shops.

      I love how you get fresh vegetables from your garden all year. That is something I want to be able to do when we retire.

    What a great deal on the chicken! I am looking to restock my freezer with chicken again since I used most of the sale priced chicken for our family reunion.

      That is the cheapest I have seen it in a while. I was happy to get it.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Dirt

Image
At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
