Winco $94.87
It had been a few weeks since I had been to Winco so this was a stock up trip for me. Some of the highlights were: Greek Gods Yogurt $2.64 {sweet price!} 18 oz boxes of blueberries for $2.99, Caesar salad mixes for $1.49, S&W chili beans $0.68 {they are DELICIOUS over rice} bulk items, smelly hot dogs and bologna for the boys, and a bunch of baking supplies. The most exciting item though was the 24 pack of Pirate’s Booty for $4.98. I snagged that for the boy’s lunches.
Fred Meyer $7.05
On the way back from Winco I remembered I needed some tots for the boys so I popped into Fred Meyer. Why people pay full price for bread I will never understand. Even when I can’t make it to the bakery outlet to stock up on bread, Fred Meyer ALWAYS has bread marked down somewhere in the store. Lately, I’ve been noticing my store has a cart full of marked down bread at the end of the bread aisle in the mornings.
Fred Meyer $9.59
On Sunday morning the HH stopped by Fred Meyer to pick up some fresh basil for homemade pizzas and while he was there grabbed another gallon of milk and some nectarines. For a second {maybe a third?} week in a row milk was $2.59 a gallon. Which I thought was pretty strange since milk is usually on sale for $0.99 per half gallon every other week. But it seems lately there haven’t been as many deals on milk. I wonder why?
Anywho, a new Fred Meyer store will be opening in town soon {the big type of store with a garden center, clothing and housewares} and I suspect that when it does they’ll have some pretty sweet grand opening deals that I’ll be able to stock up on.
Zaycon Fresh Free thanks to Zaycon credit
The boys love the breaded chicken and I LOVE the turkey breasts from Zaycon. They are so so easy to cook. Just plop it in a crock pot, turn it on and a few hours it’s done. It already comes seasoned! Seriously, the easiest dinner ever. I plan on saving one of the turkey breasts for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas dinner this year. No more dealing with the entire turkey when I can just serve the best part.
Garden Snacks like green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, berries and potatoes were plentiful this week.
I have in fact found the best tater tot recipe on the planet. The boys went crazy for it. I’ll post the recipe tomorrow.
Ritz Cracker chicken, jello salad and veg.
The Girl and I made big salads one night for dinner…
And then made the boys weenies and fries. It’s like one of their favorite meals.
And then there was pizza night. Which, are you ready for this!? The HH made.
As in, he walked into the kitchen, turned on the oven, put ingredients onto the counter and created an actual meal. It’s a once a year kind of thing for him and every time he cooks {which would be a grand total of maybe like 25 times in the 25 years we’ve been together} he likes to say “Everybody knows the best cooks are men. It’s a fact. Just ask anyone.”
And then I smile and nod and say something like “Yes, dear, yes they are” and then I pat his back and turn around and roll my eyes deeply.
Because c’mon, he’s my husband, and I think he’s kind of funny. If I only cooked once a year, I could probably plan it all out and be freakin’ awesome at it too. But what do I know? 
Ahhh husbands. They are funny, funny people.
So, did you cooking anything exciting last week? Or was it a weenies and french fries kind of week? I’d love to know.
