Tuesday Bargains

I only got a few goodies this week. Food Town had 24-ounce packages of thick-cut bacon for only $4.99. I'm baking the second batch of it in the oven as I type this (see Oven Bacon). The guys are enjoying the first batch. I also got two packages of shredded mozzarella cheese for the Deep Dish Pizza I'll be making tomorrow. Those were on sale for $1.77 each. Since it takes only half a package of cream cheese to make the crust, and I don't know what else I'd do with half a package, I'm going to make two crusts and freeze one for another time.

BLT "Potato" Salad
I also couldn't pass up a nice head of cauliflower for only 99-cents. I'm thinking about making BLT "Potato" Salad with it but I'll have to wait until after I do my Thursday shopping and get some grape tomatoes and a red onion.

HEB still had their canned pizza sauce for 55-cents each so I bought three more of them. They also had a deal on ribeye steaks for $3.97 pound if you spent at least $10. I got a package of three which we're going to have for dinner tonight. It would have been nice to have the cauliflower salad with the steaks but I had no idea until I got home what I was going to make with it or I would have bought the tomatoes and onion this morning.

  1. Could you do a blog on how you plan your meals and budget?

    1. That's a good idea, Tina. I'll write about it when I have a chance. It may be more work than some people are willing to do but I've been doing it for so many years now that I've got it down to a science.

      I just remembered that I wrote about this on my main website a few years ago. It's still basically the same as what I do now: CLICK HERE. I'll write a more up-to-date article sometime.

  2. I just paid $2.89 for a head of cauliflower:( I wish there was a Kroger near me. Alison

    1. That's about what it normally costs here when it's not on sale.
