I was thinking about this sale all week! It ends tomorrow. I was debating if I had enough in my budget this month to do any shopping and then today I was asked to work overtime tomorrow!
GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER TO GO TO THIS SALE!
So, off I went and stocked up!
I'm going to cut the strawberries and freeze them. I guess I better start looking for strawberry recipes! LOL
So? Did I do good?

That's great! You are going to have quite the stockpile now!

**alarosalpn** · 06-17-2008, 07:10 PM

I figure the bread will last us about 3 months, eggs about 2 months,pasta about 6 months, margarine about 6 months,chips will only last a month if that! My DH and DS are chip-a-holics! And it was DH favorite brand/flavor!
I was debating on buying more eggs but decided that 6 dozen was enough. I think I'm going to freeze 3 dozen.
I don't have any extra ice trays so I'm not sure how else to freeze them. But I'll start a new thread on that.

I'm really excited to see what kind of strawberry dishes you come up with!

I know I have a recipe for Strawberry mile high pie! Mmmmm! I believe it calls for heavy cream so it's got to be good! LOL I'll have to dig that recipe up.

Could you use muffin tins to freeze your eggs in?
Then just pop them out and put them in baggies.
Then take out what you need and let thaw in the baggies.

**Domestic Gal** · 06-17-2008, 08:26 PM

You did great by the way.

**prftstrngr** · 06-17-2008, 09:19 PM

WOW...awesome sale! Chips wouldnt last two days in my house!!!

You can freeze eggs????

**alarosalpn** · 06-18-2008, 05:54 PM

Domestic Gal- that's what I was thinking but I tried to freeze muffins uncooked once and they got stuck in the pan! I had to bake them! I'm just afraid that would happen with the eggs. I would love to hear if anyone has done it and how.

That's great!!!!!

My store here has 10/$10, but nothing that is ever that good.

They're having one now, but not a lot there I want to stock up on. Just a few things I can get for dh's lunches.
