I wish WinCo published their prices online, so I could better compare from home. I won't be getting down to WinCo for a couple of weeks, but I will check out their egg prices this month. Again, thank you!

I didn't know if you knew.</b><br /><br />Hi Lona,<br />Our DollarTree has lemon juice in quart bottle, too. I gave it a lot of thought, There's been controversy concerning discounted lemon juice for a few years. (Dr. Oz highlighted lemon juice purchased from discounters on his show a while back.) I thought and thought about getting it there, because it would save over $1. But I was just too leery this time. Do you think their lemon juice is as good as name brands? Like, it's not diluted in flavor at all?<br />Thanks for thinking of me and adding this comment. I appreciate it!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-40330244106195826282019-09-30T16:51:15.409-07:002019-09-30T16:51:15.409-07:00Kris said...

I'm sure that's a good sign (and relief to you, as well!). Since the weather in our neck of the woods (yours and mine) will abruptly become colder this Wednesday, I'll have to think about adding chili to my menu, too. Good idea!<br /><br />Lili, your baked goods look sooooo tempting!

Two large pork roasts that I cut in half making 4 meals. 2 small packages of ground beef and 2 large packages that I divided in half making 6 meals and 2 pork chops that will feed 3 of us since they were big and thick.

Very exciting to see.</b><br /><br />Hi Alice,<br />I'm so glad to hear that your husband is doing so well in his recovery. What a difficult and trying time this has been for your family. I can also understand the difficulties in trying to make meals that suit his needs as well as yours. Like Kris said the other day, having to cook for two different health needs can't be easy. You're doing a terrific job of it, though, and have the best possible attitude to approach this. Good job!<br /><br />You found some great bargains on meat at Horrock's! Those will really help your budget for October. I haven't seen very many really great deals on meat (aside from Walmart's 69 cents/lb chicken leg quarters) in a while. I'm hoping to stock up enough on meat later this fall to get through winter. I may have to scout around the meat departments of all of my area stores for their markdowns.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-15467558000327081542019-09-30T07:08:50.466-07:002019-09-30T07:08:50.466-07:00Anonymous Sheri said...

I guess I should have mentioned that our garden is still producing, plus we still have fresh carrots, onions, and cabbage from markets and some canned and frozen (from our garden) veggies. As I indicated, I have dedicated $4.20 to fresh fruit (will likely be 10 lbs of bananas) and I will be seeking out other produce deals, such as fresh pumpkins/squash, garlic, and apples. In addition to all of that, there's that $35 of extra in the budget that may be spent on produce. <br /><br />We aim for 5 servings of produce per person, per day. Some of that comes in the form of juice, fruit from our trees/bushes (still have everbearing raspberries), the frozen blackberries from foraging, fresh and frozen veggies from garden, in addition to produce that we will buy. And if all of this turns out to not be enough -- I'm starting some sprouted lentils and indoor micro-greens in October.<br /><br />Thanks for your concern. I can see how on the surface it looks like we're not getting enough produce in our diet.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-18190890335029945002019-09-30T05:36:37.281-07:002019-09-30T05:36:37.281-07:00Great stock up items!
