$11 for breakfast is a stunner. I’m sooo glad we make our meals at home, with very little of pre-prepared or processed foods in them. As you said, eating out now is a rarity, a special treat.
I like your idea of pot roast. I need to make one again soon, so I’ll put that on the menu sometime next week. I know I have one in the freezer somewhere. It’s been pushed to the back I’m sure.
Last night I made corned beef and cabbage again. When they were on sale around St. Patrick’s Day, I bought two, and made the first one on the 17th. The use by date is in a couple of weeks, so that was a nice easy meal. Pretty yummy, too. Enjoy your roast tonight. Nothing says comfort like a nice pot roast!
LOL, I have a corned beef in the back of my freezer as well -bought, just as you said, when they were on sale after St.Pat’s Day.
My local grocery store usually has a “meat of the week” on sale, and often another coupon for more savings on that same item - or two for one packages of chicken, so I buy what’s on sale and definitely stock up on the chicken, especially since it’s organic, free range - great to cook with b/c it’s not loaded with water the way the regular chickens are - those dilute whatever I’m cooking, especially in the crock pot.
My mother’s favorite was pot roast so I cook it in her honor - but my family loves loves loves it. It’s in my crock pot now with a mushroom gravy that we like.
I’m starting to enjoy cooking at home now more than ever and the savings has been the best part.
