While we were in Cullman on Tuesday, I visited a grocery store that had a good sale. I found Kraft Cheddar Cheese Chunks at 4/$10 and Kraft Grated Cheese 4/$10. This is a good price. Since we ate a can of Hormel Roast Beef and Gravy, I bought another and a can of Hormel Chicken Breast. In my opinion the chicken is only good mixed in with something. I froze two of the bags of Italian Blend grated cheese.
At the same store, I saw a friend who had about ten cartons of JUMBO eggs in her cart, 12 to a carton. She told me each was fifty cents. Well, I was on that like white on rice. I brought home four dozen, knowing that I had 2.5 dozen at home. At home, I had ten eggs in the dozen carton. In the carton that held 18 eggs (1.5 doz.), there were two eggs. So, I only had a dozen at home. Now, I have five dozen eggs, so I may get out my two- and four-ounce Ball jars and freeze some for baking.
If these eggs are still on sale next Tuesday, I will get more. I showed an egg to Tommy and he noted it looked liked Thelma's eggs. Her eggs were so large I could not close a carton with one inside. I still cannot believe my luck!
We ate the turkey sandwiches sitting in the car under our picnic tree. We went to my place and sat a bit. It helps my stress level to be home. We could have eaten there!
I visited a doctor's office to get a copy of all my records and could barely carry them out the door. I do need these for something that I will disclose later.
I must go to the social security office, but I wanted to be home soon. We got back to the drugstore here, and sat for 30 minutes.
Getting down to my last half-carton of milk is making me nervous. But, I wait until the ads come out since it might be on sale. I need to buy another four of those Wednesday. So, I will be flush with dairy products at the end of the day.
Wednesday
Today, as nervous as it is making me, I have to finally get my driver's license renewed with a new picture. My hair is long, stringy with no layers, so I might cut it before I leave in a few minutes. Or, maybe I should leave well enough alone. I wonder if I can keep the mask on.
I need to eat breakfast, so maybe I will have eggs with cheese and a glass of milk. Or, maybe I will boil a half dozen eggs for eating out of hand. Do you ever boil eggs just to have on hand for a protein boost? Okay, I had two boiled jumbo eggs for lunch.
The Christmas decorations are packed away. They have been down for two days. But, at last they are no more to be seen. It always looks drab once the colors and lights and glitter of it is all gone. No, no glitter here!
Okay, I am glued to tv, watching the procedures in Washington, so not going to get a driver's license.
awesome deal on eggs....how do you freeze them?
ReplyDeleteOne,
DeleteI use an egg beater and freezer them in small Ball canning jars with a lid for canning and ring. I beat and freezer five for pound cake recipe in a half pint jar. I put 4 eggs in a four ounce jar. I use two eggs in a 2 oz jar. Once thawed, they are good as fresh. Some people put the eggs in the jar and just give a beat or two with a fork. I keep dozen of jars in the smaller sizes.
When my chickens laid more than I could eat, I froze them for their lean days in the deep of winter. Mostly, I would give them away unless I needed to freezer for later.
Do you add salt? I read online abt freezing them and they said it was important to add 1/4 tsp salt to two eggs or they get funny. That is too much salt for us so I didn't freeze them and some eggs got too old and went to waste.
DeleteAnn,
DeleteNo, I don't add salt. I would not use that much salt, either. That would be too much salt for me, too. I do use the egg beater on them after thawing.
That's a really good deal on eggs. I dont think that I've ever seen them that low here. I like canned chicken. I use it for soups quite a bit or quesadillas.
ReplyDeleteNd,
DeleteI have never seen them so low, either. I can eat the roast beef without putting anything in it. But, no so with the chicken, so I can see that the way you use it would be delicious.
I had my license renewed yesterday and I look awful with my two toned hair and my double chin. Whatever, I just do not give a flip at the moment.
ReplyDeleteCindy,
DeleteI did not go today as I wanted to watch tv nonstop! Well, the hair is colored, but shapeless. I don't know how to disguise the double chin unless I can wear a mask.
I love boiled eggs. Especially if they are still warm and I can chop them up just a bit and add something like a dab of Italian dressing to them. Take care.
ReplyDeleteCrystal,
DeleteI love warm boiled eggs, too. I like to put butter on them and then eat it all when the butter melts. Or, I chop and put a little Miracle whip on it and stir it in. Or, I just love a plain, warm boiled egg eaten like an apple.
Here in California since covid we can renew all drivers licenses on line. I am dur to renew in August.
