made bbq beef today and was out of bbq sauce so I made my own out of all the free ketchup that I have.
Used up 2 roasts from the freezer today
took out a whole chicken from the freezer for tomorrow.

Honestly, I'm putting more things into my freezer and pantry than taking out (all the pressure canning I am doing), but I did manage to use up a very old bag of diced onions I had out there. I'll bet that was a good 3+ years old.

Will be pulling a turkey out of the freezer that I had gotten last Thanksgiving for about $3. Think I'll make that for Easter weekend possibly.

ME TOO!!!

Have lost ground this month!!

Albertson's had a sale on frozen produce this week and I stocked up and might even go back today since it was not just the basic veggies you usually get (beans, peas, corn).
It was the mixed, sugar snap peas, and asparagus!!! Like them all.

Used four pork chops
a steamable bag of corn on the cob

Slowly getting more room to be able to fill up again

Bought 2 corned beefs. they were on sale for .99 lb.
Also bought some ground veal only 1 lb since it is 18% fat but wanted to try it since it was on sale for $1.99 lb.

Today made pancakes since had some milk that was going bad.

I ended up restocking this month. I was running low on meat and found a decent deal on hamburger meat and chicken. Then it seemed like everyone has fish stick type products on sale, so I stocked up on them also. Hopefully this will save me some money next month!

Getting creative again. I used up the last two hot dog buns to make toast this morning. I used shredded turkey to make quesadillas but they needed spice so I used some of the TONS of taco sauce I have for free to make them better.
