Since everyone KNOWS what I'm getting , and I can't get past drooling over "page 2" with the potatoes, can you all help me out and let me know what's on your lists to get (besides potatoes of course!!! )?

Strawberries,
Yellow and red potatoes

Dole salads
Not sure what else.

I think that's it for my Meijer trip this week unless great deals start popping up (fingers crossed )

I third the Aldi's comment for produce this week!

I will definitely be stocking up on Aunt Millie's English Muffins at Meijer though! Last week I had fun grabbing pounds and pounds of asparagus @ $.99lb!

We ate a bunch of it tonight with dinner! I will freeze some and dehydrate some of what's left and then see which way we prefer it, so that way I'll be "really ready" for the next time they have it cheap.

First time EVER for me buying and cooking this.

I rode with a friend late this afternoon and when we stopped at Aldi's, I got some tomatoes (for DH) and onions.

Then ran into Meijer's for the cereal deal (DH's favorite Frosted Mini Wheats! ) and grabbed a salad for free.......I did stop at the potatoes and "caressed the bags" as I pointed them out to my friend!! Just knowing that I had to leave them there for now was killing me, but then I also know I'm going back towards the end of the week for my major shopping trip!

I found with asparagus...the best way to "store" for a later date...is to blanch it and freeze it. Any other way just makes it taste not as fresh and more like you are eating sticks.

I am actually planning a major trip. Not sure yet what I will be getting, although I think it's going to be big. With two of us eating out the home for lunches now I have to stock up on easy lunch meals. Also some fast dinner fixins or else we gonna be eating out ALOT! Which does not help the budget!!

I tried this method with my big batch and had some last night after defrosting it. I placed it in a frying pan with just a little bit of water to heat it through and it got mushy on me. Next time I'm going to try heating it through without the water in the pan and see what happens.

Don't defrost it...put it in the pan frozen...let the ice from it being frozen be your water.
