Can't believe the prices? Here's some proof and ideas for your shopping this week...

50 cents for that?

You can do it, too.

If nothing else, my blog can show you how to have a company meal, and a nice one, for an affordable price. 

Remember, every meal is a "company meal" around here.  We are feeding 10 people every time we sit down!

 That is a lot of dishes, too, believe me.

I have been in a lot of stores this week.  I have a huge baking project coming up for the big school fundraiser auction.  200 lbs of flour, 50 lbs of sugar, etc, etc, you get the picture.

  So, I have some good deals for you.

wow, tasty, awesome

affordable cold cereal.  Safeway has some even cheaper this week.  A 16 oz box of Oat Squares, which we love to snack on, is only 1.00 if you by 5 in the same shopping trip.  We bought 20.

cottage cheese is good protein, and ups the protein content in bread, too

a decent price for beef

This sauce is cheaper than the plain tomato sauce, and it's ready to go.

I'm not much of a coupon shopper, but sometimes Fred Meyer has some coupon deals that I just can't ignore.

 Plus, they have the best price for canola oil around, even better than Costco, and, unlike Costco's, I can fit it into my cupboard.

Happy shopping.  It's not hard to shop on a budget.  With a goal in mind, in my case, the goal of not spending much money, it is fun to see what you can do.

I've gotten so I love finding I can live without all the "good deals" in the store.
