Tips for Budget-Friendly Grocery Shopping and Crafting

Published on by RJLeave a comment

For the last few months, prices have been increasing on many goods and services. Gas prices were nearly $5 a gallon in my state (even with a tax holiday). Grocery prices went up. Even yarn and other crafty materials became more expensive. So you may be wondering how I continue to blog regularly when the majority of the content is about food that I make and crafts that I’m working on.

This week, I thought I write a post about I was able to cut some costs and actively maintain the blog. While I’m sure none of these tips are earth shattering, I thought they may help someone feel “seen” or like “It’s not just me.”

Shopping List for Friday January 22 2021

Published on by RJLeave a comment

Well Friday is here again! And what a week it was, for sure.

I took on the task of making dinner tonight and I decided to share my shopping list for the two dishes I’ll be making this evening. One is a main dish and the other is a vegetable dish. I will not be making a side dish or a dessert this week.

At the request of my father, I took the time to try to find a “healthier recipe.” This was somewhat challenging. Most of Ina’s recipes, while delicious, are quite rich. Or, if not rich with ingredients, many recipes such as beef or pork meals are just not as heart-friendly. But, I eventually stumbled upon a great, light, and flavorful chicken recipe that I can’t wait to try!

My Shopping List

  • White wine
  • 5 lemons (wow, can we see a theme here??)
  • fresh thyme
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts (with skin, if able)
  • 2 large bunches of fresh broccoli
  • panko
  • pine nuts

Of course, this list does not include any ingredients that I know I already have in the pantry.

I’m getting hungry just looking at the recipes. I can’t wait for dinner time!
