Target yesterday I found roasts and steaks on manager's special + I used $2 off coupons (I printed 5 of these a few weeks ago). Also, got lobster tails orig. $12 per pkg. for $3. I stocked up! It was very exciting. =)<BR/><BR/>We are blessed in the summer to have my parents supply us from their garden. They sell almost anything you can think of at farmer's markets. I froze some last year and hope to again.jenicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154536022350962800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-50013540248680218322007-04-01T17:20:00.000-06:002007-04-01T17:20:00.000-06:00I guess I was thinking mostly of the turkey I buy ...I guess I was thinking mostly of the turkey I buy - I know Aldi's hamburger has gone up - it WAS 99c frozen when I started shopping there, but I think it's over $1 now. I hardly ever buy hamburger though, or if I do I mix it with turkey.Scott and Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606096013187283616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-12317945440350219012007-03-31T23:12:00.000-06:002007-03-31T23:12:00.000-06:00I always freeze my hamburger into 1lb bags too, bu...I always freeze my hamburger into 1lb bags too, but I've never thought of skimping on them a little! You're right about not noticing, and being able to get an extra meal out of the same amount is great!MagenRanaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061412704877550343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-29031891492624245702007-03-31T22:53:00.000-06:002007-03-31T22:53:00.000-06:00Lynn, I doubt I can help you much there! I buy a ...Lynn, I doubt I can help you much there! I buy a big container of spring mix at Sam's for around $3.70 something, which gives us salads for 2 weeks. And then I just buy manager's special marked down fruit and veggies at Dillons or resort to Aldi prices, which are cheapest. But I rarely buy peppers (for that very reason!), and often use frozen veggies which I can get on sale with a coupon at Dillons for $.50 or less per bag.<BR/><BR/>I want to know where you are buying hamburger that cheap though! I guess I've seen it for about $1.30 marked down at Price Chopper, but you just shop at Aldi, right?

You know, you spend $1 on hamburger or turkey, and then one red bell pepper costs $1.50 !!! Maybe next Friday you can post your tips for fresh produce :)Scott and Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606096013187283616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-14882319605493062522007-03-30T23:32:00.000-06:002007-03-30T23:32:00.000-06:00Jenica,Yes, I just mean cook it up BEFORE you free...Jenica,<BR/>Yes, I just mean cook it up BEFORE you freeze, instead of the day you're going to consume it. It saves freezer space and time! And by the way, I do not feel at all diligent... you are probably way more frugal than me and just don't realize it. Seriously! I am just learning all this stuff, little by little. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111794635817110181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31922189.post-17097104813136936712007-03-30T21:57:00.000-06:002007-03-30T21:57:00.000-06:00You're really inspiring me Rachel!

He typically doesn't like a meal if there is no protein.<BR/>I love the tip for buying a whole chicken, that is great savings! I need to start doing that.
