Crazy Coupons

I went "grocery" shopping today for the items I need for dinners the next week.

I spent $27.

They included:

2 gallons milk
butter flavored crisco (the only way to make pie crust)
white vinegar - to disinfect my apple to make apple cider. Did I not mention I picked 2 full laundry baskets of apples yesterday? For free?
appliance lightbulb - my over the stove light has been burnt out since we moved into this house
CLR
dishwashing gloves - because heaven forbid I touch dirty dishwater.

And that's it!!!

It is really sick how much food I have in the house.
Fresh canned veggie that I did myself? check.
Fresh and canned and frozen fruit that I keep getting for free? Check.
frozen meat? Check.

Hoping to not spend any more money until next monday. Let's see if we can make it without buying milk.

I still haven't made the posole that I planned on, and here's what we've eaten for the last week.

October
1 - Dutch oven dinner at church
2 - Chicken spaghetti
3 - Steak with baked potatoes and veggies
4 - leftovers
5 - chipotle turkey burgers and tater tots.
6 - taco soup

I've made another little dent in the freezer but still feel like I have a LONG way to go.

7 - posole
8 - skillet lemon chicken with potatoes
9 - leftovers
10 - pasta jumbalaya
11  leftovers or sandwiches
12 - steak with veggies, salad, rolls

Looking forward to having an empty freezer. I think it might take another 2 weeks!
