Let's talk about groceries. Today, after dumping my kids...er, taking them to visit my parents, I went to the supermarket and spent another $69.05 on food. I am spending money like a Rockefeller and not the pauper I am. So in an effort to save money, I have joined The Grocery Game. This is a website that tracks sales at stores and gives you a weekly list of the best deals. It does involve clipping coupons which is tedious, but they offer a four week trial for $1.
I was a member over a year ago and I think I did save money, but I was shopping 3 different stores which became a burdon. This time I'm going to stick to the two grocers I always go to and see what happens.
As for the questionable kitchen stuff I bought yesterday, I'm feeling a little better about it. I bought a candy thermometer for $3 which I absolutely need to make yogurt. I also spent $8 on a meat thermometer because I ruined a pound of chicken on the grill the other night. In addition, I bought oil and vinegar cruets for $6. I recently had a houseguest, and though she probably never gave it a thought, I felt a little embarrassed when I thumped my ecomonical half gallon of olive oil and quart of balsamic vinegar on the counter and instructed her to dress her salad.

This houseguest didn't notice at all, but future guests will apparently be spared. How did you ruin the chicken on the grill?
ReplyDeleteI left it on way too long I think. It was really yuck. R. ate it though, he will eat anything.
ReplyDeleteWe (R) are so much alike. Me too. I just peel of all the layers of charcoal, and there is meat somewhere!
