Home Sweet Simple Home

Menu - a cheap week!

Notes: We have three gallon size bags of homemade port-a-pit chicken leftover from the 4^th bash. I have frozen two bags for future use and am trying to think of interesting ways to use up the third bag without getting tired of chicken. Why not freeze the 3^rd bag also? Well, it cuts down on my grocery budget this week- way down!
From the Garden: we’ve got lettuce and we’re picking lots and lots of black raspberries at my parents farm. Freebies!

What a great idea, to include the cost of each daily meal! Maybe it's been around and I just haven't seen it... I'm new to this stuff. Thanks for sharing! - Travelinpilgrim (www.travelinpilgrim.blogspot.com)
