I mostly buy whatever is on sale that week and compensate elsewhere. But, what I am noticing is that, even on sale, the prices tend to be high.

I know that the hurricanes and the droughts had a big impact of things, but wow!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-38918984435811739052017-11-13T20:38:55.100-08:002017-11-13T20:38:55.100-08:00Glad you were able to take advantage of some good ...Glad you were able to take advantage of some good specials at the grocery store, Bushlady. You are very kind to say that I might have inspired you with my cooking! Your pasta sauce sounds good - glad it tasted good, too. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-10250252444748377582017-11-13T18:50:58.251-08:002017-11-13T18:50:58.251-08:00I popped into the grocery store for some OJ and no...I popped into the grocery store for some OJ and noticed that they had a special on 4lb bags of apples so into the basket they went, and then I found my favourite cranberry raisin bread on the half-price stand. It had today's date. I buy it, slice it and freeze it, then when we want a slice or two I toast it lightly.<br /><br />I think you inspire me with your cooking. Today I made up a pasta sauce with a little chopped onion and celery sauteed in olive oil, then added part of a can of chopped tomatoes and stirred in some hot spicy barbecue sauce. When it had simmered a while, I sliced and added a large leftover sausage. I served it over the curly pasta and it was pretty good.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-15586417401705003432017-11-13T12:28:27.658-08:002017-11-13T12:28:27.658-08:00Sounds like a good goal for next year, Sharon.

I kept track for 3 months or so, before I came up with a budget.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-81762044365329884992017-11-13T12:19:49.827-08:002017-11-13T12:19:49.827-08:00That we are, Live and Learn.

I don't do a lot of meal planning, as such, but I have the fixings for salads with chicken for lunches, this week, curries to go with rice for dinners, leftover pork ribs, and chicken & gnocchi soup from Saturday's lunch (daughter only had half of her soup and I didn't have any of mine, yet!) At least a week's worth of food in the fridge, at this point!<br />Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-86753971342514395572017-11-13T09:33:40.246-08:002017-11-13T09:33:40.246-08:00I think one of my goals for next year will be to a...I think one of my goals for next year will be to actually keep track of my spending especially good wise. I think I am going well but I'm pretty sure I can do better.<br /><br />I am at daughters this week so have bought food for her house. I also bought her a turkey for thanksgiving as she won't be with us. She will be having a quiet one with her new boyfriend and his brother. She'll be cooling for them.
