So I needed butter... not on special but when you need. Bought 3 for $5.88 (store brand - a lot better than brand names at 7 and 8$).
and then there were the specials... Could I just walk out?
Alas no... $97.30 later.
Then I had to divide it all up and freeze when I got home!
Pork tenderloins (2/$6.39)- I hate opening vacu-packed but don't want to defrost both and then refreeze one! Removed the silver skin right away, so when I do want - it's ready.
Mild Italian Sausages, not on special, only 1 package but still divided into individual sausages. One of them is earmarked to stuff a couple of lovely big mushrooms I got.
Chicken drumsticks - that was the best deal - Got 2 pkg of 10 ea for $11.31 combined total. Divided them up as well, so's I can grab as many as I need when needed. I did cook up 6 right away (already ate one).
Bacon - 3 pkg, $3.99 ea. 1 pkg frozen whole, as is. Other 2, cut in half and then divided up into 6 slices (approx) of left side and 6 of right side. 1pkg went in the fridge right away, other 5 to the freezer. Cooking just for myself I found even bacon seems to go rancid just when you really really want those last 2 slices.
Rest of the bill was taken up with fruits and vegies -
and yes, I bought some chips... I needed my salt fix - haven't had any in sooooo long, I just couldn't help myself.
