We did our major food shopping today. When I say major, i'm talking 20 lbs of bulk hamburger. 2 10 lb tubes. cut into 1/3rds and frozen. 2 tubes ground turkey 5 lbs ea. frozen. 3 5lb packs of fresh skinless boneless breast, frozen. Family pack of jumbo hot dogs. 2 18 count cartons of eggs. 3 bottles ketchup, 2 large jars peanut butter, coffee, ground, don't remember size, large jar creamer, zero cal sweeter, 3 tubs of sugar free lemonade, makes 3 gallons, 2 apple juice, one grape, two fruit punch. same size package as lemonade. Grapes, green and red, bananas, bag of apples. small bag of cherries, for the Mrs. two bags large of English muffins, sliced cheese, shredded lettuce., shredded cheese for tacos and what ever else. 3 loaves of bread. black forest ham, small pack, turkey small pack, 2 packs baloney 2 packs of ribs.
My oldest son has told me if I buy any meat he will pick up sides and veggies. I find that fair. #2 son took us shopping so I bought him 5lb tub of hamburger plus some boneless chicken instead of gas for his car. My spoil item for me was some diet Pepsi Max. Most times we buy milk and bread here in town. We go to Walmart for major shopping. We only use the local market for items on sale.
I drink coffee every morning instead of buying the coffee pods I buy a can of Maxwell house, and use the reusable pods. Saves money. I use Maxwell house because of price. I don't like the cheap coffee brands. Folgers is higher by at lest a dollar, Forget the fancy coffee Way too much. If I want cold coffee I let my cup sit for 30 min or so. drink that. We have pasta once or twice a month. That raises my blood glucose, same with mac n cheese.
We grill more in the summer to keep the house cooler. But just as soon as the temps drop its back to baking, meats, cookies, etc. Kids are already talking home made pizzas..slow cooked, pork, chicken etc. #1 son wants to do some more smoked meats, but doesn't like the idea of sweating to cook outside.
Well, thats about all I got. Don't get me started on the Left Wing Games. Stay Safe

I bet you went to Sam's. I don't know anywhere else around here where you can get 10 lb. tubes of hamburger. :)
Walmart 10 lb tubes of ground beef and ground chuck. The GB was $21 and change the GC is $24 and change. We have the choice of 3 Walmart. Buffalo, Hutchinson, Litchfield. Litch is a smaller WM, Hutch is busiest. Sometimes by Wensday they are getting the store restocked from the weekend. Buffalo is a better choice mid week. There is also a WM in Monticello about 10 miles north. Sams Is in St Cloud or Maple Grove. Too far unless im stocking up for a SHTF
That was close to what I paid at Sam's for GB. Much better price than at Cub.
We used to shop at Cub for years. Now we hardly set foot in one now.
