Adding to my Pantry June 2019

My pantry is one of my happy places. I know that no matter what happens, I can feed my family. I try to buy items at the least expensive price. I shop sales, clearance, I use coupons and rebates. Doing all of these together insures that I pay the lowest prices on our groceries. We like to eat well. We cook most meals at home.  Here are some of the ways I added to my pantry the past 2 weeks. 


Aldi had ground turkey for $3.49 a pack just over a pound. The $2 off coupons made them each $1.49. 


My neighbor gave me 2 more packs of american cheese. These are great for grilled cheese sandwiches, omelettes, quesadillas, and mac n cheese. They both went into the freezer. 


Granola was marked down to $1.37 each. These are great for YD as they are GF. She takes them to work with her.




I have been picking lots of Kale from the garden. I clean it, dry it and then freeze it. It is great in smoothies.


I am loving the dehydrator that I got for my birthday. I have been drying lots of parsley. My first container is almost full already. 


Stop & Shop had some good clearance this week. 


Cereal for less then a $1. 


I make dill pickles every year but I will try these too this year. Come on cucumbers. 


These are for YD. 


I don't usually buy this kind of item but the price was right. I will take it with us on vacation this summer for an easy meal. It was 74¢


I went to Walmart for a prescription and I always check their clearance. 


These hooks will be great for YD's dorm room. 


Applesauce individual cups for 25¢ for a 6 pack. 


I have gotten 3 more packs of the Coconut Bliss bars. Hubby loves them and they were free with a coupon.  Free is for me. 


Have you added anything to your pantry recently?

      They do. That is why Hubby wanted me to quit my old job. I do so much around here that stretches his paycheck.

      I asked Hubby when you told me that you couldn't comment. He looked at everything and it seemed fine on our end. He said you could have something on your end that isn't allowing you to do it. i am really bad at this stuff and he does IT for a living so I go with what he tells me. I am happy you could comment today. Hopefully you still can in the future.

    Hi Mcoia and you got so many super deals that saved so much money for you and your YD.

    We keep $40 a month for pantry stocking on specials and this is what we purchased -

    - Bought on half price special 2 x 6pk packets of hamburger rolls @ $1.75 ea, 2 x 6pk of hotdog rolls for $1.75 ea and 2 x 6 pk of wholemeal large dinner rolls $1.15 ea for $9.30 total saving $9.30. I can't make them for this so when I see them I pick them up and put them in the freezer. I have now worked out Monday's are the day they reduce everything in the bakery section in this particular small supermarket.

    - Bought a packet of 48 x 3 ply toilet paper for $14.99 from Aldi saving $22.16 over buying it in the supermarket. This is definitely a stock up price for toilet paper here even though I only needed 12 rolls from what we used so I have increased our toilet tissue supply by 36 rolls.

    - Also at another small supermarket on half price specials and better we purchased 6 x pkts of french fry chips, 2 x 3pk pkts of croissants @$1.00 ea, and 4 packets of 6 pk bread rolls for 0.92c per packet for a total of $15.28 saving $17.12 on usual prices.

    We still have .47c to carry over to next months pantry stocking budget.

    Hope everyone had a great week of finding bargains :).

      You got a lot of great prices. You can never have too much toilet paper in my opinion.

First Garden Harvest 2020

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?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
