Week #43 Grocery Notes: Finally, a meat restocking week to replenish the freezer. If you’ve been following our menu’s you know that every few weeks we load up the freezer to keep decent meal ingredients on hand for fast, inexpensive meals. This week we added 20lbs of chicken and 18 pounds of various cuts of pork, and 10 pounds of ground turkey for $56.17
Luckily last week we were well under the budget and used last weeks savings to buy fresh fruits and veggies this week.
