Todays deals at Winco

I spent $63.93 at Winco today. This will be my grocery spending for the week on food. I still need to purchase dog food, T.P. and dish washer soap. I found Whole chickens for .88 cents a lbs, I bought a double pack and started cooking them right away. The package of two whole birds cost me $8.00. I will be able to get a few meals out of this:
Chicken and dumplings
chicken stir fry
chicken club ring (pampared chef recipe...yum)
Chicken pot pie
Chicken soup with the broth that I cooked the chickens in. I cooled, defatted and froze for later.
Now, we are not eating all these chicken meals this week, LOL. I froze the cooked chicken to use later.
I have so much to share but I'm so tired.
Please check back soon. :)

My new blog!

Hi,
I have started this blog for those of you who would like to read about my homemaking/Mom journey. Not only is it a challenge to feed and cloth my family with the cost of everything going up, but I think that homemaking has become a lost art.
It is in my heart to get back to basics and to teach my girls (son too) how to care for their future families and homes. Things are so different now then in the past, it makes me sad.
So, I hope that you will stop by my blog again soon to see what tips I have to share on being frugal, recipes, crafts and keeping of the house.
Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 are great motivators that have inspired me lately. :)
More to come!
