What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?

Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

  1. Loved the video!
    I really need to use everything in the freezer which would mean I should not go shopping for months. Won't happen though.
