Thrillsville Jackpot!

I still have room in my freezer, which I’m hoping to remedy during the rest of this National Frozen Food Month.  I’m only seeking super-duper bargains, like the .99 cheese, .77 vegs and such.  And, of course, I’m cooking up bargain meals and sides and stashing them in the icy realm.

Yesterday I was just going into the store I don’t like to see if #2’s OTC meds were on sale (sometimes -50%). But nnnooooooo!  Freezer-filling deals were screaming at me, instead.

There, under a beaming ray of light, were 1# chubs of quick-sale ground beef for .99!  Tons of ‘em! I got 20 and even left some in the case!  A Mr. Nosey-Nose was almost reaching in my cart, so as politely as I could, I directed him to said deal.  Now, this isn’t super-lean beef by any means, but today I browned some up, drained it and rinsed it really well for a dish (stuffed green peppers for the freezer).  They might not be the best for burgers, but for crumbles, I can’t imagine a better deal.  (Except those 1# chubs for .29 I got a few summers ago…)

I also found a quick-sale 8-oz container of French onion dip for .10, which I hope to use in a recipe, rather than be FORCED to make Uncle Bill’s Microwave Potato Chips and risk the weight loss.

Another great deal: huge loaves of quick-sale French bread for .69 in the bakery. These are going to become giant pizzas for the kiddos with the .99 HyVee cheese.

The meds weren’t on sale, but I found a great deal elsewhere.
