Fred Meyer $14.85
I stopped by Fred Meyer to stock up on their buy 5 save $5 deals. 4 pound bags of sugar, half gallons of milk, 18 count eggs, a free yogurt and Pringles and Little Debbie snacks were all $0.99 each.
I also snagged a rain check for 10 more bags of sugar to get me through baking season.
Did you grab the free French style yogurt that was offered as a Fred Meyer Friday freebie? Did you try it yet? The Girl did and she said it didn’t taste like anything special. The packaging sure is cute though.
I did a better job at taking pictures of the meal we ate this week. I made chicken enchiladas one night and two extra pans for the freezer. Let me know if you want the recipe and I’ll post it.
Chicken curry over rice.
I also made salmon and green beans for dinner one night and breaded Zaycon chicken and green beans the next.
Right now we are picking zucchini, cherry tomatoes and green beans from the garden daily.
Fried rice is something I pretty much make every single week at our house. I don’t really have a set recipe because I’ll just use what I have on hand. Monkey Boy especially loves the stuff. It’s crazy inexpensive to make, filling and a great thing to pack into lunches too.
Beef Broccoli. The HH made it. And it was delicious!
The Girl and I stopped by an antique store the other day and this lunch pail caught my eye. The tin pail was as wide as the palm of my hand and it got me to thinking about what people packed in their lunches in the old days compared to what they pack now. These days lunch boxes are twice the size and aren’t as simple a hunk of bread, and apple and maybe a cookie. If you’ve ever volunteered in a school lunchroom then you know what I’m talking about. It seems like everything is geared toward convenience and packaged foods these days.
Then again, my daughter will typically eat fruit, cheese and a few crackers for lunch. I’m pretty sure all of that would fit in one of those lunch pails. Also, mom, if you are reading this, didn’t she fan out those apples nicely? 😉
Fred Meyer $38.28
I couldn’t pass up 2 pound blocks of Tillamook cheese for $4.99 each. The HH needed coffee and I also grabbed a few random things while I was at Fred Meyer as well. Normally I buy the chicken coup base at Costco but I went grocery shopping at 7 am and Costco wasn’t opened yet.
So here’s a little money saving tip. Fred Meyer has pears on sale this week for $0.99 a pound.
But they also have pre-packeaged pears in the 2 pound as well. If you don’t mind #2 pears {pears that are a little smaller} then grab a bag and weigh them.
The 2 pound bag of pears that I grabbed actually had 2.5 pounds of pears in it. Hey now, that’s like getting a half of pound of pears for free!
Also, if you are into buying salad toppings in the produce section, keep your eye out for packages of Delallo Salad Savors {next the the Wholly Guacamole at my store}. These were priced at $2.00 a box and had $1.00 off peelies on them which made the Salad Savors just $1.00. It might be a convenient way to get a little cheese, dried fruit and nuts.
And last but not least, Fred Meyer has 20 bags of Private Selection tea on sale this week for $0.99 when you buy 4 boxes. I tried to find out who really makes the tea {because I’m pretty sure Kroger doesn’t have a tea factory} but I couldn’t find out anything. Has anyone tried this brand of tea? Is it any good? I was tempted to pick up 4 boxes because this is a CRAZY good price for tea bags.
How about YOU? Did you buy or find anything exciting this week? If you shopped Fred Meyer, did you stock up on sugar?
Curious minds want to know.
