This is kind of a blurry picture, but I was excited about the granola bar deal!
And I was excited about this price for a 2-lb flat of strawberries!
Here’s everything I bought at Kroger for around $70.
I always have fun putting together meals based upon sales and markdowns. I used the crescent rolls, eggs, and cheese to make an egg casserole for breakfast one morning.
It turned out so yummy (if we had had sausage in it, it would have been even yummier!)
And I used the marked down tortillas, some marked down chicken, some marked down refried beans, some marked down taco seasoning, plus cheese I got on sale to make burritos.
Any guesses what I’m using these ingredients to make?
Yes, No Bake Cookies — always a crowd pleaser!
We got food from a local restaurant to celebrate Baby D’s first birthday! (We researched and asked and found out some traditions from his country of origin — one of which was tamales for birthdays!) More pictures from his birthday celebration coming in a post soon!
I love all the deals you get and keep to a budget, only shopping at 2 stores. But I never see laundry, dishwashing, feminine products, bandaid, shampoo, bath soap, toothpaste products. Do you have a separate budget for these?
Keep watching… I usually only buy them when they are on clearance/marked down or almost free! I always buy feminine products when they are $0.99/package (they usually go on this sale every other month and I buy enough to last us at least until the next sale), I try to only buy toothpaste when it is free (I just got some a few weeks ago), I got a bunch of dishwashing tabs recently when they were marked down, I try to only buy shampoo/soap when it’s $0.99/bottle or less (I’ve actually skipped the last few sales since we are stocked up). Right now, we actually have a full shelf in a bathroom cupboard filled with these items because I’ve purchased extra over the years when they were free or almost free, so I only buy them now when it’s a really, really good deal.
What kind of eggs do u buy and for what price?
We usually buy cage-free eggs and I try to buy them when they are marked down.
I really love how you’re incoroporating baby D’s culture and language into your home. He’s very blessed to have you.
We had so much fun researching and asking for ideas for the best way to honor his heritage with his first birthday!
