We just recently got back from visiting our family in Clarkston and needless to say we spent WAY to much money while there! To add to that we got a flat tire on the way back so now we have to purchase a new spare(our spare was an actual tire not a dough nut).
Thankfully our need for groceries has been about 4-5 days later than 1st and 15th paydays so, we had food left when we got back AND while back home we acquired some meat from Jareds mom.
She gave us 1 side of smoked salmon, an Elk shoulder roast(guesstimating 2lbs) and a half side of frozen salmon. There might be something else I am for getting...
What I like about this is none of those meats were store bought. The elk was shot by Jareds step dad, and the fish came from his friends on the reservation who catch and smoke the fish themselves.
Here at home we had- 1/2 lb bacon, 1lb stew meat, 1lb ground pork, 2lbs ground beef, and about 4lbs chicken breasts(with rib bones?)
So, I am fairly sure we are set for meat until the next payday if not longer!
Along with the meat we also have a lot of canned food like vegetables, tomato products, chilli, soups. Noodles and rice. pre packaged sides, which I really dont prefer but we are trying to save money and finish out the pantry.
I did have to make a trip to the store for Milk, OJ, lunch meat, Bread(x2) and some fresh veggies but only spent $24.
So in my next post I will give you all a full run down of what we have and what we plan to make with it all!!
I may decide to extend this to how ever long we can but for right now its just until the 15th of November.
