I have has site access "issues" (ISP based)and not been around in a month.
Yesterday:
1) found gas $0.02 cheaper/gal than my usual station; filled up as from oil price reports last Thur/Fri I do expect gas to go up when our local stations refill tanks on Sun/Mon (still dropped $36 for about 1/2 tank).
2) went to $store for Sun paper (coupon inserts) where it is $1 instead of $1.79 like everywhere else.
3) grocery next to $store had clearance meat: bought 1 lb 90% lean ground beef, 0.5 lb beef cube steak and 10 oz smoked ham for $4.37 total.
4) produce mkt accross street from grocer had cabbage for $0.19/lb. Will use for stuffed cabbage and cole slaw (cost <$1)
5) favorite produce mkt had strawberries lb, grape tomatoes & mushrooms lb for 0.99 each.
today I will cook stuffed cabbage and maybe a pan of beef & black bean enchiladsa. Add a previously cooked chicken & fish meal each and I am pretty much DONE with cooking for the week. My only added costs will be a can of tomatoes (0.45 Aldi), some onion & seasonings, and rice.
