We are also reaping the benefits of other's gardens, gotta love free produce! :)Mrs. Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434865196785821679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-15793066072963703682014-08-17T16:22:15.147-04:002014-08-17T16:22:15.147-04:00That's one of our favorite things to do -- we&...That's one of our favorite things to do -- we're definitely foodies :)Mrs. Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434865196785821679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-5766494829119035822014-08-17T16:21:29.844-04:002014-08-17T16:21:29.844-04:00Thanks - me too!Thanks - me too!Mrs. Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434865196785821679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-11901177816589418472014-08-17T16:21:06.054-04:002014-08-17T16:21:06.054-04:00I do get a lot of snack foods, mostly for my husba...I do get a lot of snack foods, mostly for my husband. We also have quite a stash of frozen fruits and veggies in our freezer from the Cascadian farms coupons that come out in January/February. I buy all that I can with the coupons I can get my hands on. Mostly broccoli, corn, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. But I will also buy the birds eye steam fresh varieties, and the boxed vegetables from Green Giant. I usually watch for sales at Giant and match what coupons I have, so I always have something in the freezer. I have posted these purchases throughout the year. I am also reaping the benefits of my father's garden - wine berries, raspberries, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and bell peppers. A lot of these things I freeze for use later on. As for meat, I usually purchase chicken and bacon from BJ's (with coupons), and Laura's lean ground beef from Giant (sometimes with coupons), when on sale, and I post these purchases as well. I do not post my other pork purchases, because we buy it from a local farm/butcher, and Joe's Grandfather buys it for us, two or three times a year when he buys his. I hope this helps. When I post my weekly spending report, I only post things I purchase, so things like produce we are gifted, I don't bother posting, but maybe I should...Mrs. Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434865196785821679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-27205875329612421442014-07-16T17:13:15.344-04:002014-07-16T17:13:15.344-04:00repeat - reaprepeat - reapJoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-36289485284418916882014-07-16T17:12:24.766-04:002014-07-16T17:12:24.766-04:00Actually, she mentioned getting the frozen veggies...Actually, she mentioned getting the frozen veggies/fruits several times using coupons (organics also, if I am not mistaken). If I blogged this time of year, folks would think I was never eating fruits/veggies because I work in my sister's garden/yard and get to repeat the benefits for free. So although you wouldn't see the blueberries, broccoli, yellow squash, watermelon, zucchini, cucumbers, butternut, potatoes, beans, onions, etc. in my shopping pics, it would most def be on my menu.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-47012795105202551862014-07-16T14:54:00.995-04:002014-07-16T14:54:00.995-04:00I'm just curious about where these meals are c...I'm just curious about where these meals are coming from, been following (and enjoying) your frugal journey for quite some time but have never seen in your pictures of your food purchases these healthy veggies, meats, fish or fruits (rarely see you buying any fruit at all). You seem to lean heavily on the chips, snacks, pop tarts, cookies, candy, ice cream and puddings, which is fine for you but it doesn't seem to follow your menu planning for this challenge. Just wondering.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192033185015742312.post-29800329908323953872014-07-08T04:34:57.508-04:002014-07-08T04:34:57.508-04:00I love taking day trips and going to visit my favo...I love taking day trips and going to visit my favorite restaurants that aren't close by!

I love it when I can get rid of those little bits in the freezer and no one (but me) is the wiser. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684490908137211737noreply@blogger.com
