What I discovered in my freezer! 😲

First of all, a mess.

It seems like I'm always needing to organize and then reorganize my freezers. Praise God - they are often very full! As much as I try to keep the chicken with the chicken and the tortillas with the tortillas, etc, when I get home from a shopping trip usually there's only enough time to stuff the food in and go continue to take care of children.

This week, as I rearranged my freezers - again - in an effort to figure out what all I had and organize it for simplicity, I discovered something that really had me thanking God for His provision.

So.Much.Marked.Down.Meat.

I've been practicing this method when shopping for meat and it is working! I try really hard to stay within my price-point for how much I spend per pound for meat. The only way to do this is: Every time I'm at a grocery store, I run over to the meat section to see if there's anything good marked down. I'm finding that this is keeping my family well supplied with meat at realllllly good prices. Much of it is even lower than my preferred price per pound!

I'm very grateful. 🤗

Here's what I found tucked away in my freezer this week:

I still have one ham in there that I picked up for $5 after Christmas (the best price for meat I'd ever seen and yes, I bought 8 hams!).
I have several packs of these chicken thighs that I'd picked up at Costco when they were running a $6-off-each-package sale, making them only $2.65 per pound.
I have last week's free range marked down chicken I found at Walmart for only $1.98/pound.
I have a couple of cuts of pork left from this Mega Meat Sale we took advantage of.
I have several pounds of grass fed ground beef - which exceeds my meat-purchase-price-point but I've landed on spending a little more for beef just buying less of it (eating way more chicken and some pork instead)
One tiny beef roast that I found marked down to just $3.12/pound. It's barely enough to feed us (but will be stretched to be plenty with potatoes and carrots). I grabbed it though because we've cut down on beef so much and I have really been hungry for a beef roast instead of pork roast. So we're going to make this work!
I have a couple packs of chicken legs that I get at Sam's or Costco for $0.98/pound. (That's not even a marked down price but their regular price!)

I write this to encourage you to try this. See what great meat you can find at a big discount!!

Here's how I make our meat go even farther...

It's probably not what you think. :)

Here's a fun way I fed all of us 5 meals with a $10 ham:

This was a few years ago and it shares a lot of great ways to use one ham for multiple meals!

We can do this!
