I’m currently challenging myself to stick with a $70 grocery budget for our family of five. This includes almost all of our breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners + most household products (toiletries, laundry soap, etc.).

We still love the baked potato wedges recipe that was on your blog many years ago. My grandchildren will eat as many as I make and they are always excited to see them on the table.
That is such a great recipe!
Laura at Heavenly Homemakers bakes a lot of potatoes and then grates them for the freezer. It makes great hash browns! ?
That’s a great idea!
Where do you find marked down perishables in your local grocery stores? I must be missing them.

what do you do with that many potatoes before they go bad?
Twice baked potatoes freeze very well.
We made a BIG batch of mashed potatoes — which the kids were so excited about! And we’ll likely make another batch or homemade fries next week. 🙂
