I got a pork picnic hunk at our local family grocery store for $1.59 lb. Thought that was pretty good. It's in the crock pot and will get lots of meals from that.
Wouldn't it be nice? My local shop looked like we were back to full blown Covid yesterday. Hardly any meat in the deli or fresh meat area, milk was low and a lot of frozens especially potato products still missing. Not sure what the reasons for the shortages are.Perhaps we've turned a corner.
Have you tried making homemade yogurt? I've tried it a couple of times, and each try gets better than the one before, and it's really pretty easy. Add your fruit -- fresh or frozen, just mashed up or lightly blended, and a little honey for sweetener, if needed. Whole milk works better than low fat, though. Just a thought to share.fresh fruit/vegetables and frozen vegetables and protein like non-fat Greek yogurt, beans and legumes.
Ridiculous that eating healthy is a splurge, it's so the wrong way around!I am splurging on foods I never would have but for their health benefits
Yes, I had a yogurt maker that I donated last year. It was great for just me but once I married and had kids, I never could keep up with making enough yogurt for the family.Have you tried making homemade yogurt?

We're seeing egg prices drop, too. My local small-chain store had an in-store special on large eggs last week for $0.99/dozen, limit 2. I had to do a double-take and then grab 2 cartons, LOL. Wish other dairy would start dropping.Yesterday, a dozen eggs were $1.69 at Aldi's! Wow, never thought I would be excited about that. LOL They got to be just under $5.
With everything still going up it is a blessing when you can get such a bargain. You can freeze eggs so if you find them at a good price that may be the way to go.We're seeing egg prices drop, too.

I think having one in each bathroom or one for each person would be fine. With only having one to share you will not use less product. Now with cleaning spray you can add water to make it last longer. Or just use white vinegar to disinfect To save money.Things are still sky high here and no real signs of things slowing down.
I am still trying to come up with ideas for saving money and making my life simpler.
For example. I have 2 bathrooms, I have a antibacterial cleaning spray in each one. DO I really need two? Can I just have one and use it in both bathrooms?
Also face moisturiser. DH has one and I have one. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just purchase one that we can both use?
What other areas in the home could we simplify and cut back on?
Diedra, you are right of course. We would still use the same amount of moisturiser whether we have one or two bottles.I think having one in each bathroom or one for each person would be fine.
