I only got a few good deals yesterday. I was planning to make burgers for dinner using some raw patties that I had in the freezer. However, Food Town had some packages of ground beef marked down to $1.29 pound so I decided to get a couple packages and make fresh burgers instead. I ended up with about 7 pounds of meat and I made all of it into patties then cooked them in my NuWave oven. I kept some of the cooked burgers in the fridge for us to eat over the next few days and froze the rest for another time. For dinner last night I had a very tasty burger topped with a slice of onion, a slice of tomato, mayo, mustard, dill pickle relish and my homemade ketchup. The tomatoes weren't on sale yesterday but the onions were only 39-cents per pound.
Food Town also had the fajita marinade that I use on sale for only 99-cents per bottle so I bought two of them. It's called Figaro Fabulosa Quick Fajitas Marinade. It's normally around $1.79 in most stores around here. The marinade has smoke flavoring in it so I get a grilled flavor in my chicken whether I cook it outside on the gas grill or inside on my counter top grill.
I got one other good deal at HEB. They had a coupon for a free bag of their store brand pork rinds if you bought two for $1.50 each.
I should mention that Tuesday is the last day of any sales that I get at Food Town or HEB. The new ads come out on Wednesday here. If I can remember to do so, I'll post the current sales for those stores in my Thursday posts. Of course only those who live in the Houston area will benefit from this info since they're local grocery chains.
Today I'll be roasting the whole chicken that I bought at Kroger for 49-cents per pound a couple weeks ago and I'm going to make stuffing for the guys using the marked down stuffing cubes that I got from the clearance bin for only 69-cents. I've decided to make the whole bag of the stuffing (it's a 1-pound bag) and freeze the extra cooked stuffing. Otherwise, the rest of the stuffing cubes in the open bag would just get stale before I'd have another chance to use them.
Food Town had Duke's mayonnaise on salefor 99-cents because it's going to expire in October. I don't know if I'll use it all by then but I'm sure it will be fine for a while longer than that. It wasn't on sale but I got a jar of Mt. Olive sugar free sweet relish for $1.54 after a 75-cent coupon. They also had 8-ounce cans of store brand tomato sauce 4/$1.00 so I bought four.
