THURSDAY'S SHOPPING

I was lucky to get a little over three pounds of ground beef marked down this week because hamburger is back up near $4.00 pound again. I used my last FREE coupon from Sprouts grand opening today and got a free burrito for my husband. The chicken thighs were a great price at Kroger this week and I think we're going to start eating more chicken because it's the cheapest meat anymore. The chicken was only 88-cents per pound and I had a coupon for $2.00 off a meat purchase. I had to choose the largest packages they had (10 thighs in each) to make the $10.00 minimum to use the coupon. As you can see, I made it by 24-cents.

My husband requested a batch of my homemade Bread & Butter Pickles which is why I bought the cucumber.

I was planning to make a new Trifle recipe this week but I've decided to save a little money and just make Strawberry Shortcake using ingredients I already have on hand. For the "shortcakes" I'm going to make a batch of Basic Almond Flour Muffins and I'm using frozen strawberries that I got from Trader Joe's. Using muffins for the shortcakes is a bit cheaper than making a pound cake, which calls for cream cheese and a lot more butter.
