I made smoothie’s today, and yup I am proud to say the kids slurped them down and requested more. Thank you for the ideas and tips!! Now to save for the cool blender. Do you know if they would make just plain ice like slurpee’s, I love the ice but not the flavor so much.

I stopped at the store yesterday to get OJ b/c it was on sale for $2.48 a gallon. Bought a roaster marked down to $2.99 and two pkgs. of bacon marked down to $1.69. I think total our family of 5 will spend less than $80 this month. Our freezer is getting nice holes in it and so is our pantry.
We did pickup our Angel Food box today as well. Glad I ordered it last month. Plan to order the fruit and veggie box from them for next month.

Ate out for grandson’s birthday party today at lunch. Tonight’s meal was brisket sandwiches and potato salad. I had to stop at a local store for a huge produce sale and I really needed to add some fresh to what I already had.

lettuce–88 cents
oranges–10 for $1
apples–4 for $1
red potatoes–2 lbs. for $1
cucumbers–4 for $1
bananas–3 lbs. for $1
zucchini–4 for $1
grapefruit–4 for $1

That’s pretty amazing! I keep showing the kids what we have spent (or not spent!) and that the month is almost over. Less than $20! Some holes in the pantry but we have two! Just shows what you can do! Tried Lentil tacos (from Hillybilly Housewife) though used ground beef too. Have never had lentils before and the kids were skeptical, but it was pretty good! Very healthy and lots of leftovers as it made alot! Great challenge!
