Alright. So we all know that we can ALWAYS get ourselves a deal on food thats practically junk. You know.. the 10/10 at kroger that nets us $1 toaster pastries, $1 bags of cheetos, kroger donuts, and many other fried, sugar filled, empty calorie items inaccurately labeled "food". Thats not food folks. Thats garbage. Its delicious, I know. But theres a reason its so cheap. Theres also a reason why America is so rotund. Take 20 dollars in your local store and see what you can buy? Albeit, Krog does have some veggies on 10/10.. but spending a dollar on an english cucumber or a dollar on a box of toaster pastries doesnt seem like a hard choice for those americans who are trying to feed a family on a ever-so-tight budget.
Its no wonder we have an obesity issue. Supermarket chains make it soooooooooo much easier to stretch that dollar by filling our carts with shotty food stuffs instead of stuff thats good.for.us. The $1 loaf of bread is either a all white bleached loaf or a faux wheat loaf that probably jsut has brown food coloring to make it look "wheaty". I bought a loaf of 12 grain yesterday, it was 2.99. Thats a 1:3 ratio and more proof that we get punished financially trying to eat healthy. The chicken that was on sale 10/10 was fatty thighs and legs. The chicken breast was 10 dollars for a package of four. Generic concentrated orange juice was $1 for a half gallon where the simply orange was 2.99 a liter. Does that make sense? Do the supermarket chains NEED America to stay fat so they can stay in business? To hock their store brand donuts and potato chips for $1 each? Its sick.
Thank God for summer and for the local farmer markets and veggie stands. We have a local corn grower over here and the corn is phenomenal.. Its still in the bags from them picking it that morning. So looking forward to August.
So my new challenge for myself is to find a weekly deal somewhere to post about that helps all of us save on something that is HEALTHY for us. The deals are out there... and Im about to exploit my freezer and my freezer bags by snatching them up and reporting to you all.
Today's deal:
1st deal:
Silk soy yogurt 32oz big containers.
Reg price 2.99- marked down at Meijer to .75 a container.
Ive never had it, I might hate it- but I doubt it. Ill add some fruit and ice to it and throw it in the blender and the kids wont know the difference. I got 8. Some for me and some for a friend whose son can only have soy stuff. Into the freezer it went where it will keep well. Thats a 75% savings.
2nd Deal:
Jennie-O frozen turkey breakfast links and breakfast patties.
75% less fat than regular ground beef and super tasty in a healthy breakfast burrito or as a replacement for some fatty regular links at sunday brekkie.
Found 15 packages yesterday at my local SuperK. They were due to be sold/frozen by the 21st. They were regularly priced 3.49/package, but because of the sell date quickly approaching they had SuperK instant savings coupons of $2 off each package.
That made all 15 packages 1.39 each!!
Straight into the deep freeze they went. Where they will be fine and Ill use them one by one when needed. Love my deep freezer. Love that people are sooooo scared of reduced stuff. I mean if its fuzzy and green by all means avoid it. But if its not even that close to sell date (which doesnt even mean expiration date) and you have the freezer space.. Buy it. Throw it in there and start building your sexy stockpile of glory.
If armageddon comes.. head to my house for free soy smoothies and turkey breakfast sausage.
After thought: dear Jessica Simpson.. please dont be straddling your new boyfriend of the week. That picture of him clutching your ass and almost about to tip over while getting some help holding you up from another mysery hand does not help your crusade to become once again a normal woman. I know youre a wonderful size.. and you get harassed alot by the media for putting on and losing the same 10lbs. But stop getting caught doing the stupidest shit, stop trying to sing country music and forgetting lyrics half way thru, and stop hocking fake hair extensions. Take your earnings, move to italy, buy a villa and disappear.
Thank you,
Bre.
