I picked up some great grocery deals in the last two weeks and stocked up on some items. Mostly meat. My freezer is pretty full and my weekly grocery lists for the rest of the month are going to be pretty minimal. Just some dairy and produce each week! This week, we have one free meal (yay!) because of hunting and gardening. And one or more of these meals may get switched if I can figure out what to do with the two ice cream pails full of green roma tomatoes I was able to pull before the snow (yes, snow) this weekend. If you have any green tomato recipes, share them now!
Breakfasts- oatmeal or eggs, bananas or apples, milk ($2-3)
Lunches- PB&J, pretzels or popcorn, apples or grapes or carrots, milk ($5)
