Not too much this week, but a few great sales! Both cucumber (each) and broccoli crowns (per pound) are $0.69 this week, which is really good! Also, if you like tortilla chips (we buy some when they go on a good sale like this one to have as a treat with salsa or mexican food), they are on sale on Sunday and Monday only at Shoppers Drug Mart. This is a really good price, you rarely see them for less than $2.00/bag.
Items that are frequently on sale are pears, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers and celery.
There is also a good sale on strawberries this week ($1.44 per pound or 454g container). We'll be picking up a few this week so we can freeze some.
Cantaloupe is on an ok sale at $1.47 each. This is a price where I would buy one if we needed or wanted some. I only put it on my list because I wanted to buy something a bit different for the Healthy Snack Fund this week.
You may also notice that I have 'tropical plants' on my list this week. I've been wanting to buy another plant or two for our house and I put it on the list so I would remember!
Recipe/Meal Ideas for this week's "sales":
- banana bread/cake/muffins
- fruit salad (with pears, strawberries, cantaloupe, and pineapple and frozen fruit from last week)
- greek salad
- broccoli (cook it like my asparagus recipe and top it with a little cheddar cheese!)
- baked pears with granola and yogourt
- strawberry turnovers with homemade strawberry syrup
- creamy cucumber soup
- stirfry
- minestrone or veggie soup
- apple pear pork (roast, chops, tenderloin)
- broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken
