I do not have time to itemize, as today is our MEAT BUYING DAY! I will spend $100 for 3+ months of meat! I will post how I do all that later. For right now, here are some pictures and totals:

*Woaw... this was a mess of trip. First I forgot to include the Chefboyardee in the first order and after everything was said and done, we refunded the first order, added it with the Chefboyardee and I got my single receipt for the rebate. Then the bag-boy accidentally dropped my beer while loading it and had me pull up to the front of the store while he grabbed a replacement. I got home and noticed the mushrooms had spilled out EVERYWHERE... I wont be using about 1/2 the container that fell out. Also I bought 10 Mentos gums, not 9... there are only 9 there. I LOVE PUBLIX! I called and the lady at customer service told me next time I was in I could get my Mentos gum and a new pack of mushrooms!

**On another note... I have enough peanut butter that I could bath in it for a year and never run out. I am glad it keeps so well. I will be donating several jars to my church.

...and this is how I prep for my meat buy. I buy in bulk at Sam's. I get a case of chicken and a 10lb roll of beef. The case price is cheaper than their shelf price. We have a small freezer in the garage and the meat we buy and separate will last use 3+ months! So if I spend about $100 on meat, that is less than $35 a month! We spend more than that eating out! Most people spend that in 2 weeks!

That is only 30 or the 100 (1 meal) bags I will use to pack the meat in when I get it separated and split the beasts. Sams has HUGE chicken breasts!!! We split 1 between the two of us... and now that Atlas is eating his weight in meat, we will be using about 1 and 1/3 of a breast each night.
