My meal plan blew up when we lost power for 2+ days. This is my revised plan since I got back online this morning. 8-))
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 deals on food at your stores this week?
Sluggy
We have not gotten the ads yet, so no idea what is on sale. You can bet we will buy mostly bogo items. Bogo packs of salad green were bogo, so Tommy got two. We will finish these and buy two more. If we finish the next two, we will get two more on Tuesday. We eat lots of salads when the greens are bogo.
ReplyDeleteI have the urge to make salmon croquettes this weekend. We will see.
I am just glad there is no liver and onion day planned on your menu!
ReplyDeleteDukes Mayo was bogo at Winn Dixie. The soft drinks for kid (Dr Pepper) were buy two cartons get one free at Winn Dixie I went to Aldi for most foods so it was just their standard prices except I did notice mushroom prices were much higher… sigh. A carton last week was $1.25. This week a carton is $1.85. I eat a lot of mushrooms so I was not happy. Cindy in the South
