| THURSDAY'S SHOPPING |
I was so happy to finally see pork roasts for 99-cents pound again after being around $2.50 pound for so long. I'd basically stopped buying pork because it was so expensive. Food Town has them for the same price again in this week's ad so I might buy another one next Tuesday (last day of the sale) and cook it right away. I've tentatively altered my menu for next week to work in a pork roast.
Although I didn't need any eggs, I bought one dozen today because they're still 99-cents at the new Aldi store this week. I made a big batch of egg salad a few days ago and I'll probably make another big batch soon now that I've got a surplus of eggs on hand. I used 10 eggs in the last batch and I might go ahead and use a full dozen next time because egg salad gets eaten very quickly around here.
I bought the cream cheese today to make another Raspberry-Almond Crumb Cake in the next few days. I've still got enough sour cream and strawberry jam left so I figured I might as well because the last one was so yummy. In case you haven't noticed, I've updated the recipe a little after making a few changes to it when I made the last one the other day.

I can't believe how low some of your grocery prices run. You are such a disciplined shopper. That crumb cake is still staring at me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do try to mostly buy stuff that's on sale and going to so many different stores really helps me get the best deals. If I was stuck having to do all of my shopping at just one store, it would be a lot more challenging to stay within my budget I think.
