I was really excited to go shopping this week! When I posted the sneak preview for this week’s ad on Monday, right away I started printing, cutting and gathering my coupons for my shopping trip. And I knew that I was going to spend a lot this week. So I mentally prepared myself for a larger bill. But at the same time, I knew I would stock up a ton making it worth it. Hubby asked if I wanted to bring our two year old with me (usually we bring him with us shopping). But since I knew my trip would be so large, I decided to have some “me time” and head to the store alone. My shopping cart was overflowing by the time I got to the checkout lane and I was thankful I didn’t have a squirmy two year old “helping me” as I shopped đ .
The items I was really excited about stocking up on this week were all items that I immediately put in my freezer after taking the above picture. Flour, sugar, chocolate chips and butter are all staples I need often, and usually I will pay full price for the store brand because I run out. When there are sales like this week’s sales, I will stock up and freeze it (I don’t like having too much dried foods like flour, sugar, rice, pasta, etc in my cabinets for fear of getting bugs). Many of you have asked me if butter freezes well. It does. In fact, when it’s thawed (I thaw it in the fridge), it retains its consistency unlike cheese. I’m probably going to head to Publix once more before Thanksgiving and get a bit more butter. My goal is to have enough butter to last me until Easter which is when we should see more sales on baking items again.
How did you do this week?
Please remember that you do not see any chicken or ground beef purchased because we have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming Salmon, Cod, Ham and Lean Ground Beef Events! You also do not see much produce as we belong to a coop and every other week get a delivery of organic fruits and veggies.
