Fresh Eggs $7.00
Fresh eggs, you just can’t beat them. Last week we needed eggs and I since I had no other reason to go grocery shopping, I went a half mile up the street and bought 2 dozen eggs out of someone’s cooler at the end of their driveway for $3.50 a dozen. How cool is that? If I was still in the HOA neighborhood, an exchange like that would have never happened. But the best part? The little honor system cash box on the table next to the cooler.
Country Store $13.98
You know, I’m just doing my part to support the local economy. 😉 At the rate I am going though, I do think it’s time to start researching ice cream makers. But, that will have to wait until I have sampled all the flavors from Gelato Fiasco. {I’m having a hard time finding the wild blueberry and sunken treasure!} Also, I cream shops are BIG here. As in they are everywhere. Stand alone ice cream shops…. Open in April…. In one of the coldest parts of the country. Someone explain this to me. Seafood shacks I can understand, but ice cream?
ALDI $61.91
The HH and I were out running errands and since there was an ALDI nearby, we decided to pop in and pick up a few supplies. Milk this time around was $1.48 a gallon and eggs were $1.49 a dozen. Also, they had those gigantic marshmallows {for campfires} in stock if anyone is looking for them.
I still believe you get the best bang for your buck there when it comes to supplies for “picky dinners.” The red pepper fruit spread was delicious! I served it spooned over cream cheese and pita chips.
Someone asked last week if eating a few crackers, cheese and pieces of fruit really does in fact fill us up. And hands down, the answer is YES. Nobody in our family has ever really been a heavy eater, and honestly, I could eat salami, cheese and a few apple slices for dinner everyday of the week.
And big salads too. I could live off those as well.
Other things I made this week: Crock Pot Pork Roast with Sauerkraut, Mississippi Pot Roast, banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins, and a chocolate pudding pie.
Breakfast in bed for my sweet husband. {It’s always nice to feed someone a big breakfast before asking them to shovel dirt} 😉
Date night with the HH. We found a cool local pizza place and I know for a fact we will be back! Ahh New England. I love you! How about YOU? Did you buy anything exciting this week? Try a new place? We’d love to hear about it.
