Hubby and I are going to do some organizing in the basement. We are going to be purchasing some shelving units to make things a little bit more manageable. Hopefully we will be doing that in the next couple days. Once that project is finished I can reorganized my pantry and I will take inventory of the dry goods.
The only purchase I have made with the grocery budget so far has been $.82 worth of bananas and dishwasher detergent for $3.97 for a total of $5.08. I have $195 left for the month.

Those tomatoes look so good! Does the skin slip right off when they start to thaw? I have never tried freezing them like that before.
ReplyDeleteYes they do Jennifer, as they thaw the skins just shrivel up. My tomatoes at the end of the year where coming ripe at such sporadic times it was hard to can so I would just pop them in the freezer. It works pretty slick.

ReplyDeleteSara, nice entry! what do you do with those tomatoes when you thaw them? Do you use them for sauces, soups, and stews and such?
ReplyDeleteYep, mostly we use them in chili.
