GCC Shopping Round-Up

The deals on baking supplies are starting thanks to the holidays. It's a great time to find REAL butter on sale and stash it away in the freezer. Butter can be frozen up to 8 months without any change in texture. Just thaw it in your fridge for a few days before you need to use it. I bought my limit today at Win-co.

Just found your blog-adding it to my blog roll :)
We're a family of five with a $60 a week grocery budget. I'm in the process of switching us to organic as well.

Yes, love it when they put the baking items on sale. One year I got real butter for such a very low price--think it was close to the expiration date like a $1.00#--that I bought a "ton" of it and canned it. It changed the texture somewhat, but I knew that I would just use it in baking/cooking so it wasn't a problem for me. It was great when I mixed my large batches of hot fudge sauce for Christmas gifts. It was impossible to tell the difference.

so jealous of the under $2 butter...i've been waiting for quite a while to see that in my corner of PA....we still haven't hit it.

You're so lucky to have butter on sale! Where we are, the butter is $3+. I thought I had found a good deal when it was $2.50. You found it for less than $2, I'm so jealous!
