Grocery Haul for Two

-




Good Morning!!

For this weeks haul I went to both Winco and Costco.  My first stop was Winco..

It was a pretty small haul. I picked up the usual fruits and needed veggies. A bigger bag of frozen corn on the cob (the regular packages I've been buying were out), eggs, half & half, sour cream and ice cream was on sale so I got a few of them. 

I also picked up some shrimp on skewers that we put on the grill and brushed with garlic butter.. super yummy!






 Total from Winco this week: $37



The next stop was Costco..

 
I picked up bleu cheese dressing for a change from ranch. I also picked up another package of the pepper jack cheese sausages because we enjoyed them so much. I found a different brand of potato chips to try. They are Cape Cod brand kettle chips with less fat and my hubby likes them. I was out of cheese and mayo and picked up bananas. 

I also tried the Caesar Salad Kit. It was the first time I've had it and I have to say it was really good! I would definitely buy it again...






Total from Costco this week: $56




Grand Total for this weeks groceries:
$93
 




That's all for this weeks Grocery Haul for Two!

    You and I shop a lot alike. I could do well with your groceries. Isn't it amazing that we spend around $100 a week on food for two people? We have seen a real increase in our grocery bill in the last year.

      Hi Kathy ! We have seen an increase in prices as well.

      I know it helps a lot to cook from scratch and keep meals simple. I also could probably do better at that if I wanted to LOL 😀

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

-
Image
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 ...

Canning Cabbage

Image
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...

Canning Beef Stew

-
Image
In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my ...
