$61.62 WELL spent!

I've been informed that my math was wrong on the chicken. My math wasn't actually wrong, but I had transposed my numbers. So my math was right, my numbers were wrong. I'm still very happy with the amount of meat I got for the price (Thank you, Hubba. And thank you for allowing me to continue homeschooling the kids, hehe).


I went and did some grocery shopping today. I love sharing my deals, and I really racked up on a LOT of mark-down dealios!! The meat scores are my fave!!

MEAT:

23.92lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken= $33.01 ($1.38/lb)
5.90lbs Leg of Lamb= $11.74 ($1.99/lb)

3.56lbs Bratwurst= $5.97 ($1.99/19oz pkg)
1.5lbs Breakfast Sausage= $1.98 (99¢ per 12oz pkg)
5.01lbs ground chuck= $8.92 ($1.78/lb)

Grand total= 39.89lbs of meat for a whopping $61.62

DAIRY:

2- 1/2 gallons organic whole milk= $1.58 each (That's only $3.16 per GALLON!!)
2- 1/2 gallons chocolate drink (you know the "fake milk?")= 58¢ each

PRODUCE:

1 pkg stoplight peppers= $1.99

1 8oz pkg snap peas= 99¢
1 12oz pkg mixed veg= 99¢


I also scored some fancy coffee (the New England brand) for $1.24 an 11oz bag (got 1 each- French vanilla & Hazelnut creme) & some batteries (ray-o-vac) for 98¢ a pkg.

The 5lb pkg of ground beef has been frozen into 1lb portions. I used 3 of the family sized pkgs of chicken, separated them & vac sealed them into 5 pkgs (4 per pkg). The other 2 I've frozen as whole pkgs & plan on canning some & using the rest to make my "famous" chicken, tater, corn soup, which will also be canned. YUMYUM!

Here's me doing the happy dance! LOL

Um, yeah I'd say you did very well. We never see prices quite that good around here.

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
