I know I am a day late with our menu plan, I just ran out of time to get the post up, sorry!
This week we are still eating blueberries! Our Save-a-Lot still had pints on sale for 99 cents, so I bought more. The kids are slowing down on them now, they must be getting their fill. That is fine, I am freezing any I can for later.
We are also eating a lot of eggs this week, Kroger had a great sale on 18 count eggs for $1.47 limit 5, so I bought 5! It looks like a LOT of eggs, but they will keep for a while in the fridge, and our fridge has plenty of room in it for right now. Here is a link to an article about different ways to prepare eggs. Here is a link to an article organizing egg recipes by number of eggs and here is another link to an article outlining 100 ways to eat eggs that aren't breakfast. We already eat a lot of eggs in our diet for breakfasts, so I think this week, using our glut of eggs I am going to switch things up and feature eggs for dinners and stick more to toast and oatmeal for breakfasts so that we don't feel like we are on egg overload. Regular price for eggs right now at my local Save-a-lot is $2.79 a dozen, which is so very much more expensive than they used to be, but that still only works out to 23 cents an egg, making it an inexpensive protein per person. Even though $2.79 feels so very expensive, it still is a more frugal choice than meat.
