*groceries were higher because I got bone in chicken breast for 88 cents a pound. I bought $17.11 worth. I have plans for all that chicken but that is a different post!
Grocery wise I also got milk, half and half, cheddar cheese, a generic diet "coke", bread, 1.43 pounds of turkey deli meat, 3.33 pounds of bananas, 2.63 pounds of pears and 3.06 pounds of apples. Besides the milk, half and half and bananas, I only bought loss leaders.
After reading some super disturbing stuff about canned items and the BPA plastic liners in them, I'll be ditching a lot of our can goods this week. So at some point I expect I'll have to blow my mad money on groceries to stock pile the correct way. But I think its money well spent.
Great price on chicken! I don't know your plan, but this is what I'd do:
ReplyDeleteSeparate the meat from the bones
Make stock from the bones and freeze it in muffin tins, then pop the stock-cicles out into freezer bags for easy meals later.
Freeze chicken with sauce in the bag. Then you can defrost overnight and it will marinate in your sauce.
Or, you can use a pressure cooker to cook the chicken, from frozen, and brown rice at the same time in about 20 minutes.
I posted about this idea last week here:
