Tuesday's Shopping Trip

Feeling a bit blue today~ which explains why I chose this color. I'm not all the way blue, a little purple is mixed in. Blue for sadness, purple for strength that I see in myself.

Today I tried to get some baking done, but I think I did more running today that I had hoped I would do in a week. Martie was able to visit with her Daddy and her Nanny. Nanny flew in from Florida to see her daughter who is having some health issues, and Martie is fortunate to be in the same town so they can get to know each other a little better. Martie came home overly tired and happy!

During the time I had alone, without a child sneaking around, I was able to run to the store and get the items I needed to complete this weeks menu. I had about $60 to spend, but really wanted to spend around $50.....UNTIL I ran across a managers sale on ground beef. Typically I buy 90% or 93% ground beef, but this sale was just too good..it was 80% but I wasn't going to be picky in times like these.
I bought just over 9 lbs of beef for about $12. So if my math is correct....that is $1.33/pound. WOOHOO!!!! Price of beef in Arizona has been running around $3.00/lb during sales. LOL so I think I hit a jackpot today. So I bought some more freezer bags so I could put the meat in 3/4 lb portions and freeze most of it...I probably will brown a few pounds and then freeze that way I can pull out and then cook up for tacos or burritos or spaghetti and meat sauce in a jiffy.

So I do have to say, this little visit to the store with a great find was a bit of a triumph for me hehehe!
I hope tomorrow I am less busy with running here, there, and everywhere....and am able to do some baking.

Yay!
