I was so excited about the chicken and egg deals at Kroger this past week!
There were also a lot of great marked down items!
My best deal this past week was stumbling upon canned pumpkin for just $0.25/can!!! I bought enough to probably last all year — we’ll use it for pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, and maybe pumpkin waffles.
All totaled, I spent $67 on groceries — and we’re stocked up on chicken and eggs for a few weeks + pumpkin for the year!
I made Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup one night — using some of the great deal on potatoes I got a few months ago!
I made some homemade crackers to go along with the soup.
We loved the soup!
And the crackers were delicious, too!
Even Baby D ate multiple spoonfuls of soup — which is a bug victory for him!
Another night, we had potatoes, smoked sausage, and carrots in thee crockpot. I don’t use a recipe: I just chop and dump into the crockpot and then cook until done.
It’s so delicious — and a filling and frugal meal!
I made homemade rolls to go along with the crockpot dinner.
I used this recipe — it was new to me and it was HUGE winner!
The rolls were so easy and quick to make — and they turned out so beautifully and soft and delicious!
One of my daily salads for lunch.
Wednesday nights are always full — we have multiple activities for multiple people in multiple places, so I usually do a grab and go dinner. We did Breakfast for Dinner this past week — make your own waffles + scrambled eggs with cheese.
The girls got these mini waffle makers for Christmas and we’ve been enjoying using them!
We also had leftovers one night — which is always the best! It cleans out the fridge, it saves money, and I don’t have to cook!

Make “Your Own” Waffles – Why have I never thought of that before?
Did you like the soup recipe?

How did you keep the potatoes ripe for a few months?

Great find on the pumpkin! Glad baby is eating! I know that’s a huge deal with cleft palate etc.
