Weekly Shopping Trip

It’s been a while since I’ve done a post about my weekly shopping trip. Usually I’ve got just enough time to get home and shove it all in the cupboards before I have to be somewhere else. But today I had the time to set it on my table and snap a picture before I put it away.



2 lemons 1.38

We have company for dinner 2 times this week thus the exotic ingredients like guacamole and I happened to find a bargain on canned veggies that were all dented for .39 cents a can and bought every single one that I thought we would eat. The bone in thighs will be boiled down until the meat falls off the bone. The meat will be saved for casseroles this week and the broth will be frozen for future use as a soup base.

Also remember that I am basing my menus off of what I already have in my cupboards so that my shopping will be as minimal as possible.

Here’s our menu…
