I didn't get any outstanding deals today but Kroger does have a few nice sales this week. If you spend $10, you can get a dozen large eggs for 99-cents. They've also got 16-ounce packages of Kroger brand cheese for $2.99 and 3.5-ounce Hormel giant pepperoni for a dollar. I like to snack on them or layer them in a pizza/lasagna type casserole. I also use them when I make submarine sandwiches for the guys. Family packs of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are .99lb this week too.
I needed some heavy cream and Walmart was out of it, which is pretty typical. I always see it there when I've got plenty at home but, when I need it, they're almost always out. Anyway, now that they're putting milk in theirs like everyone else, I decided that I might as well buy Kroger cream today. I've always avoided buying it there because of the skim milk they put in it. With my 10% senior discount, I paid pretty close to the same amount I'd pay at either Walmart or HEB for a quart of cream. It was on sale for $3.99 this week which works out to $3.59 with my discount.
While I was at Walmart this morning, I saw that they sell those big 24-ounce bags of Dunkin Donuts coffee like I got on clearance at Kroger last week. They want $13.78 for it and $7.28 for the 12-ounce bag. So, I did get a super deal on the big bag at $7.99.
When I got back from shopping, I got my cooking done for the day. I made Spinach Lasagna again but made my variation this time which has Italian sausage added and extra cheese.
I like hearing what you make. Do you post your present menus? I'm on a very low budget and it's so helpful to see what others are making and baking. I make your Pecan Almond muffins weekly! Love that recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Georgene. I'm not posting my menus at this time because I mainly cook high carb meals for my husband and my son. A couple times a week I make some kind of low carb casserole or other recipe for myself to eat for a few days at a time. I do post here when I make any old tried-and-true favorite low carb recipes or try something new.
Delete^ I am in the same boat there -- higher carb meals for the kids, and then I try to adapt to that. Sometimes it works, sometimes I just end up with a salad

DeleteFinally! Liquid Splenda in the US. I used to buy it from some weird site and they had a rationing system so you could only order at certain times a month, etc... So this is the zero carb stuff unlike the packets right? Thanks for your blog. Very inspirational. Love your recipes!
ReplyDeleteYou're correct. There are no carbs in it. BUT, this product isn't suitable for using in recipes because you can't measure it accurately. You squirt it into your coffee or tea. If you're good at math, you might be able to figure out how many squirts equal a teaspoon.
DeleteIt sounds like you're talking about Sweetzfree. She hasn't used that rationing system in many years. I order from her all the time and have never had a problem. Her prices are still competitive even though there are a few more options available now.
