COSTCO GROCERY PRICE LIST #20

Sonja — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 01:13:11 +0000

I just got the Costco Grocery Price List updated. There are now over 180 food products on my list. Last time I updated prices, I thought I had to update a lot of prices, but this time, it was beyond the beyond…whatever that means. With inflation, prices have kept steadily increasing. There were hardly any… Continue reading COSTCO GROCERY PRICE LIST #20

COSTCO GROCERY PRICE LIST #19

Sonja — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 20:05:00 +0000

As I was reading the local newspaper this past Saturday, a headline caught my eye: “Key inflation gauge hit 6.1% in January, the highest since 1982.” Oh dear. In the Associated Press article, the author, Christopher Rugaber states that the comparison is to one year ago, and if you take out volatile food and energy… Continue reading COSTCO GROCERY PRICE LIST #19

Fall weather has swept in, a little too quickly if you ask me;). I turned on my perpetual broth recently launching us into our 9 month/year soup season. With that, I thought it would be a good time to share five tips to making good soups. There are so many reasons I love soups. Soups… Continue reading Tips to Making Good Soups

Costco Grocery Price List #18

Sonja — Sat, 11 Sep 2021 00:57:26 +0000

I just updated the Costco Grocery Price List. There are about 170 different foods on the list. Has your grocery budget felt like it’s been stretched recently? There is a whole bunch of prices that have risen, and there are some foods that are just plain MIA. I’m guessing it is due to Covid as… Continue reading Costco Grocery Price List #18

Minty Lime Watermelon Salad

Sonja — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 22:34:04 +0000

Admittedly this Minty Lime Watermelon Salad is one of a handful of recipes I’ve posted here and have never made (one being my husband’s Grilled Pork with Asian Sauce and maybe a few drink recipes he’s come up with). BUT my daughter, Ellie, has been a watermelon slicing machine this summer. Even though I’ve never… Continue reading Minty Lime Watermelon Salad

Winco Bulk Foods Price Update

Sonja — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 21:15:31 +0000

Before this go-around, I last updated it my Winco Bulk Foods Price List 7 years ago. I have revamped my list and added a whole bunch more bulk foods to the list. It is interesting to see in that time how much of the food prices have actually stayed pretty static and how much has… Continue reading Winco Bulk Foods Price Update

Slow Cooker Quinoa

Sonja — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 23:56:30 +0000

I’m a sucker for my slow cookers. And yes, I have multiples:). I still haven’t given in to the ways of the pressure cooker. After cooking rice repeatedly in the crock-pot, I wanted to try quinoa in the slow cooker as well. So for about the last decade I’ve been cooking quinoa in the slow… Continue reading Slow Cooker Quinoa

Teaching Kids About Money Part 1 Fabricating Poverty

Sonja — Fri, 14 May 2021 07:01:56 +0000

Teaching Kids About Money I think everyone should be poor for a little while (especially if I knew they wouldn’t stay that way) and would have to work to get out of it. It lends perspective. It changes the way we handle money. When I was growing up, we would have been considered poor in… Continue reading Teaching Kids About Money Part 1 Fabricating Poverty

Crock–pot Chicken Paprikash

Sonja — Fri, 07 May 2021 02:04:30 +0000

Crock-pot Chicken Paprikash A handful of years ago I tried my first chicken paprikash. A friend served it as part of a delightful dinner. I was instantly a big fan, so I thought I would try to make a crockpot version of it since that’s how I roll. It was so easy to make, and… Continue reading Crock–pot Chicken Paprikash

Thrifty Thinking As soon as our first child starting eating solids, this newbie mom went and bought about 10 jars of baby food.
