Those were the ad items this week.
Normally lettuce is about $1 per head here too.
Oranges are up a little this week but the last time I bought them they were 8 for $1 (and very good)
Texas Grapefruit were 4 for $1 (2 for $1 this week)
I can do wonders with chicken, potatoes, pinto beans and garden veggies. Have a great German Potato soup recipe that I use leftover ham in.
Cannot beat chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Pretty cheap meal that everyone loves.
Basic stuff is still pretty cheap, the prepared things are what run into money.
We have cattle on the farm and a building where we process meat (for our own use, and for our neigbors wild game). (Commercial Hobart butchers bandsaw, meat slicer, sausage mill and walk-in box)
Unfortunately I am dependant on the local markets for all food items. But this may change in the spring.. I am moving to a great area and the apartment has a garden area. Have never planted one before but am looking into doing so. My first apartment on the ground floor! It’s attached to a modern building but sits on it’s own...so no neighbors to bother. Stone drive to the front door too. Nice patio etc. So this is something to look forward to in the spring.
