Is it possible for a family of five to spend less than 1/2 of what we previously spent on all food/groceries, household needs and health and beauty items? YES! Come with us & take the Frugal Family Challenge!!! By shopping sales, using coupons, rebates and free gifts, we will attempt to drop our grocery bill to an all time low! Follow our family as we attempt to live on a budget 365 days a year!! YOU can do it too!

MORE HICKORY is HERE!!!
Yay!! Today arrived my 4 boxes of pears (12 in ea box). This was an unapproved by me substitute since I ordered the KING box (2 of them) I need to calculate to see if I got a good deal. I also got one of the gift sets. Lots of sausage & cheese! My daughters are showing it off. The pears are ridiculously juicy and my family thought they taste marvelous! I froze one ham from my hams I previously received. I have been cutting up the other into various slices/dices/pieces to use in recipes this month and next (and freeze).
Tonight I used about 4 slices of ham(there are well over 30 in the ham) to make cabbage soup. I had 3/4 of a head of cabbage, sliced about 7 baby carrots into discs, threw into about 4 cups of water, added a can of chix broth, a sprinkle of frozen diced onions, a 1/2 cup of frozen corn, some pepper, a bay leaf and some lemon pepper (daughter requested) and a dash of salt. I cooked in my pressure cooker on high for 10 minutes and let it rest for 20. It was FABULOUS!!! Yummy and cheap! The girls loved it!

This looks delish!! I managed to NOT buy anything for us from Hickory Farms, but I DID order a package to send to my son who is stationed in Iraq.
ReplyDeleteFrances, I was so pleased that Hickory Farms shipped free to military.. I hope your son gets his package ok..and God bless him!
