Please share your VENISON STEW RECIPE!!!!! We have deer meat and I have yet to make a yummy meal with it. 🙁

Pomegranates for .49 ??? That’s nuts. We pay $2.50 a piece on sale here and that’s pretty much the price anywhere you go.

Yeah, I was thinking the same about milk. I was at Aldi’s today and the milk is $3.49. That’s cheaper than the grocery store at $3.80 but much higher than Costco that sells for $2.80. <>

If you have a dollar tree in your area, buy your frozen fruit there! Preaches, mango, strawberries, and mixed berries all for a buck! We love that for our smoothies!
