WEDNESDAY'S SHOPPING
 

I did my shopping today instead of tomorrow. I went over budget again this week but I was running very low on ground beef in the freezer and Kroger had a good deal that I couldn't pass up. Food Town hasn't had any marked down in a few weeks. Kroger has their 3-pound rolls of ground beef for $1.99 pound this week which is a very good price. On top of that, I got the 10% senior discount plus I had a coupon good for $1.50 off one roll. I was only going to buy two rolls but at the last minute decided to go ahead and splurge on a third one. I paid $1.62 pound after the discounts.

When I got home I first made a batch of Bread & Butter Pickled Jalapeños and then browned up six pounds of hamburger. I'm going to freeze it in plastic containers and then use it for my breakfasts. I've been eating hamburger patties for breakfast for a while but I've only got five cooked patties left and I decided that browning it was easier than making six pounds of hamburger patties in my Nuwave oven.

I was happy to see that the price of eggs is gradually starting to go down again at Aldi. I wasn't planning to buy the jalapeños there today but went ahead and got some when I saw that the price was lower than it's been for a while.

The steaks that I got marked down at Food Town on Tuesday were originally just over $9.00 per pound and I paid $3.99 pound. They look like bone-in ribeye steaks.
