So I shopped from the recesses of my freezer and found the last package of elk burger, I made some rich golden vegetable broth from some veggie peelings and onion/garlic skins I'd been stashing in the freezer and I found a few chicken breasts. Also scavenged up some frozen melon, blueberries, rhubarb and frozen banana and we had the best smoothies this morning. The kids said they tasted like tropical starburst.
So here's what I added from the store this week....

I just wanted to let you know I clicked on the link for the Hamburger Barley Stew and it came up with pickled cherries lol
That lentil taco filling is amazing! My husband and 11 year old had no idea that there was not any meat in it.
Gayle,
I've been following your blog for almost 2 years now. You have inspired me to find ways to cut back on my grocery bill, although I don't do as well as you. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your blog. I've implemented a lot of the ideas I've picked up here. I consider myself a fairly frugal person, but you've opened my eyes to new ways of saving. Also, just stopping by every week helps keep me motivated to do more but spend less, to reuse even more than I had been, and to look for fresh ways to live frugally.
Keep up the good work!!
