Grocery Haul for Two and LOTS of Catch Up!

-



When I take a break from blogging the hardest post to catch up on are the grocery hauls. I'm going to only give totals for the 2 weeks that I missed and this will also include my weekly average as of the end of June.  I had so much going on that I didn't take the time to take the pictures of those weeks. For this current week I am back at it with pictures! :)

Also these 2 weeks of trips are a bit higher than my normal because I was preparing for my family get together. 



My grocery haul for the last week of June was: $180

I spent $373 for groceries in June. From the beginning of the year until the end of June I have spent $2465 on all groceries, and shopped (to that date) 26 times. 

My weekly average on groceries as of the end of June is: $95



************************

Now for last weeks grocery haul. I went to Costco for most all of my groceries. I also took a quick trip to Fred Meyers because they had steak on sale. 
I spent $121 at Costco and $44 at Fred Meyer. 

My grand total for the first grocery trip in July was:
$165 

*************************

Now for this weeks haul :) I still had leftovers hanging around even after several days. So I only needed to make a quick trip to Winco to pick up my weekly basics and a few deals along the way.


I still had a bit of fruit and a few veggies so I only picked up some salad and a salad mix, onions, cucumbers, grape and roma tomatoes. And I got a few apples and bananas I also picked up an 8# bag of oranges that my hubby at set in the other room and I didn't see them, so they are not in the pic. 


I also picked up milk, eggs, a can biscuits, a couple orange juices, tortillas and a couple pizzas that my grandson had requested. 

 
The tortillas ended up in 2 pictures.. :D .. oh well.. I picked up a box of pancake mix (for the grandson :) and I got 2 packages of rib eye steaks (our steak supply was pretty much depleted with the big steak bbq for the family). I also found some thin sliced pork chops at a good deal and grabbed those as well. 



 My receipt shows a total of $80.15, but this also included a bag of cat littler for $8.12. That goes under animal supplies and is not part of my grocery budget. So $80.15 - 8.12 = 72.03
Total from Winco and 
grand total for this week:

$72




 I'm all caught up now! 

 That's all for this week's Grocery Haul for Two

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Dishwasher Soap Sub

One of the most common emails I receive is ladies asking if I have a good homemade substitute for dishwasher detergent. After making my own homemade laundry detergent and having such great success I was eager to try and find something that worked as well in my dishwasher. I found and tried a couple different recipes. I was not happy with the results at all. The most common recipe I came across was a combination of washing soda, borax and citric acid (some recipes used Kool-Aid in place of the citric acid). What I discovered is that this combination left a cloudy film all over my dishes that was hard as heck to remove. I quickly went back to Cascade and gave up trying to find a substitute. Well, last week I ran out of dishwasher soap. Because I live rurally just hopping in the car to run and pick up one item is out of the question. Plus, at that point my hand had not healed enough to be able to drive (I have a stick shift and could not shift with my right hand). I had
