What I did today...
I finally introduced myself on the Intro forum (not necessarily frugal but some of you may be wondering why I am posting here!).
Today I am cooking a turkey that was in my freezer since last Thanksgiving. Last week I made a spreadsheet of everything in the freezer. I found out I had enough meat for about 60 dinner meals (I actually couldn’t believe it). I divided the meat according to type and assigned it a specific dinner menu. I plugged each menu into my calendar and found I have enough dinner menus to go until July 7. I am not going to buy anymore meat until the end of June when we are almost out – and then only buy what is on sale to replenish. I had been getting very lazy with our food budget and had consistently gone over each month this year (not frugal), so I am going to use up everything. Now that I have a mission to eat up what we have, the sale meat holds no interest for me.
Also, I used my RX credit on my groceries today at our local Fry’s – a good deal if you need an RX. Had a coupon to get $20 for each new RX up to $60. Although I wish dh wasn’t sick, I was glad to make the $ go further.
