I’m wondering how you manage with one gallon of milk and one loaf of bread. Was watermelon the only fruit? How old are your children? I’m very impressed.
We have a loaf of bread in the freezer and we only use milk for cereal twice a week and occasionally for cooking. My children are 17, 15, 13 and 11.
We are LOVING the hormel naturals lunch meat! I ended up with 10 packs this week for only $16.00! ( 50 cents off each which doubled to $1.00 then a $4.00 catalina store coupon from a previous trip!)
Have you ever thought of getting the non fat dry milk just to cook with? I love having it on hand since we only drink Almond or Coconut Milk. I can bake with Almond/Coconut milk, but it doesn’t work in Mac and Cheese! I just make it as we need it!
Thanks for the link up!!
That’s a great deal! As far as the dry milk, the last time I checked it wasn’t cost effective, but I will look at it again.
Here is my break down for using non fat dry milk at home:
Powder Milk is $0.187 per cup. Milk ( if at normal price for our area of $2.99) is $0.186 per cup. ( only If I buy a gallon more if I bought a smaller size!)
My family does not drink any cow milk at all. It is used stricly to cook with. I average 2 cups of non fat dry milk per week to cook with which would be $0.37 per week for milk. If I even bought the smallest size milk possible just to cook with I would be looking at atleast $1.00 or more, Plus I would have wasted milk!
Thanks Lindsay, I will check my local prices. My kids use milk in their cereal and were not big fans of powdered milk when I tried it before, but I know that you can’t taste the difference in cooking and baking.
Can you freeze the deli meet? When it thaws does it pull apart correctly?
Great job shopping. I admire your hard work.
Thanks Theresa! I have successfully frozen the Hormel Naturals Deli meat. I put the unopened plastic package in the freezer and place it in the fridge one day before we will use it. As long as it is thawed completely I haven’t had a problem with separating the slices, but I can’t promise you that it will work for you.
