some fresh, some store-bought

Although they've been in deep-freeze conditions, the girls have been laying. I've got some young Ameraucana girls too but no eggs from them yet.

Used three fresh eggs in my German-chocolate cake, and I whipped up some cream-cheese frosting.

At the grocery store, I buy store brands and on-sale items.

I used some of the pork loin in this soup.

Also, got some London Broil on sale.

London Broil, potatoes, carrots and onions.

Store brands below. I save more than pennies.

We like these Bush's Steakhouse beans and they were on sale for $1.79 a can, usually over $2 a can. I don't buy too much frozen stuff because the electricity may go off. Yes, we pay our bill! :-) especially during winter run more of a risk for losing power and I like to stay stocked up in stuff because you never know when we may need to be self sufficient. HotBellyMama had a great post today about stocking up on food and laws, I encourage you to go over and read it although a little scary - ...allow the government to seize all of your hoarded items in the event of an emergency.

As I write this at 5:30PM est, 16 degrees outside, I'm hoping we're slowing climbing out of this deep freeze. We are blessed to be warm, fat, and happy, and try to make keep our animals as comfy and we can too.
