Crisco. I’m telling you, it’s the best thing ever and right now Costco {well, mine anyway} has it on sale for $5.99 a can. So basically, I have enough for a year’s worth of pie crusts if I play my cards right.
Is it just me, or are you waiting for baking supplies to go on sale too? Seriously, this year deals on butter, baking chocolate, evaporated/condensed milk, sugar, flour and other must haves are far and few between.
4 pounds of sugar for $1.99? Whoop T Do. If I don’t see any deals in the ads this week I may just skip grocery shopping all together until after Thanksgiving.
Here are a few of the meals we ate last week:
Chicken curry. Luckily I’ll be picking up a 40 pound box of Zaycon chicken later this week because I am officially out of chicken freezer meals. The HH doesn’t know it yet but he’s going to help me assemble freezer meals this weekend. 🙂
We had a roasted chicken with vegetables one night and the next I made a quick chicken stew with a bulk bean mix from Winco. Easiest dinner ever!
I also pulled a Zaycon ham out of the freezer and whipped up some mashed potatoes and free corn to go along with it.
Slow cooker split pea and ham soup. I’m telling you, it’s the best soup on the planet. Plus, you can make a giant pot full and freeze the leftovers.
I made the HH scrambled eggs, home grown potatoes and leftover ham for his breakfast in bed this Sunday. He loved it! {Probably because I fried up those potatoes in some leftover bacon grease}. Why use olive oil when you can use bacon grease. Right?
Spaghetti and meatballs with Vodka Cream Tomato Sauce. No one got loaded so I’m pretty sure the alcohol cooks off.
Lentils and rice. I am down to just one package of Tasty Bite lentils. Sniff. Sniff.
I also made the boys a batch of 5 ingredient Nutella cookies for a lunch snack.
And two apple pies. One for Mrs. HB and one for me. You know what they say… sharing is caring.
How did you do this week? Did you find any good deals?
