Def a lot for $67! I haven’t been deal shopping or couponing for a while so I’m lucky if I can manage $50 for myself. I’ve been trying to figure out how to come up with my own menu plan as it’s just me, but I’ve never done that before. It’s a bit overwhelming. And, I love to bake.

I am like you cannot seem to spend less than $50/week on groceries. I need to train myself to buy mostly the same items each week. I have noticed Gretchen always has tortillas and chicken, there is so many different dishes you can prepare with these two items. If she can feed her family for $67/week, I am for sure wasting money on $50/week for two. Also going to have to purchase markdown items, I occasionally do but not often enough.

Just wondering if Gretchin blogs or has a web page. I find her shopping trips and menu plans interesting and thought I would read more from her if she did have her own site. Thank you!

I just printed out the oven fried chicken recipe. I went through our freezer today and found some chicken drumsticks. 🙂

I am excited to try the oven fried chicken. I remember seeing the recipe on here before but forgot to try it. I printed out the recipe and I am hanging it on my fridge to remember to try it.
Thanks!
