On my adventure to being a better planner, cook and steward of our money I worked like crazy in the kitchen last night. At least I was in the air...the poor fellas were at ball practice in the hot, hot sun.
So friday DH and I did a little meat shopping, this was a good thing. Everytime I buy steak (which I always buy the best priced meat for the budget and try to make a miricle out of it), he almost always comments that it's cheap meat!!! I reply "yes" it fits the budget! But I don't say it sarcastically, those days are not in me anymore thank you Lord for changes :0). While at Country Mart I had him personally pick out the meat and tell the butcher how he wanted it cut. Pretty brilliant of me I think, (winking). So I had run out of freezer bags and did not get them until yesterday and had to package the 60.00 worth of meat, mark it and store in the freezers. Now the real challenge will be to use it, I have always had good intentions but somehow some of the meat get freezer burnt because I fail to make a plan to use it.
While prepping the meat and feeling very smart and Martha Stewart like I also cleaned the fridge out. Hmmm, here is another place I fail at. I threw out 1 green pepper, one tub of baby tomatoes, and some freezer burnt brats. Why did all that go to waste, my lack of planning and keeping up with our food. I might as well threw 5.00 in the trash which I would never do. So my new goal is to stay on top of the fridge, freezer and our meal plan. I did take a picture and will post it for the friday food waste post. I am new to this but very inspired to do the post, wish me luck that I may not have anything wasted next week.
