I recently got a very helpful hint from my Mom and Stepdad that meat prices are going to skyrocket this winter due to the drought. So, I have been watching the Hy-Vee and Fareway ad's every week for their meat specials. I am pretty proud of my current stock pile in my deep freezer! I have 8 pounds of ground hamburger, 10 packages of chicken breasts, and 8 packages of pork chops. I also cooked a huge pork roast in my crock pot all day today. We had a very small portion of it for dinner, I left a small portion in the fridge to make BBQ Pork Sandwiches, and then split the rest into two packages for meals for a later date. I am really hoping to keep our grocery bill down this winter by not having to buy as much meat!
My friend Dawn and I also went to 'Crazy Days' at Hy-Vee last Thursday and stocked up on some crazy deals!! $0.99 bread....cheap fro yo....they were practically giving away frozen pizza's....and so much more...oh my!!!
I also did two batches of sweet corn in August. I ran out of time and didn't freeze nearly as much as I wanted to, but it will be a good stock pile for a few months!!
