Day 19:

Today I spent: $0 on groceries

Total spent these last 19 days: 70,35€

Average per day: 3,70€

We called about a turkey at another market and got a better price: 3,95€ kilo!   That’s better than the 5,40€ from the poultry store here in Loeches. Anyway, we ordered two 5 kilo birds because those are as big as they have them here.

All we invited are coming and we are so glad to have a shared day with them. I’ve prepared a Power Point with some photos and a mini presentation to project on our living room wall… just to teach them what THANKSGIVING is. As we Americans know, it is a day that we celebrate for very specific reasons.

I hope to post more updates after the 16th of this month.

After church today I opened a jar of my chili with beef that I had canned and we ate that over rice with a salad.  For supper it will be more of the same or egg and toast.

  • Mom,

    With all the food prep and storage you do, you’d be a natural up here in Alaska. We just canned about 30 quarts of beef and venison. Canning makes the toughest meat tender and tasty…

  • ours is 4.50 euros a kilo.
    So, not as bad as your butcher price, but not as good as 3.95.
    We will spend thanksgiving with Elizabeth. On the menu… turkey, mashed potatoes/gravy, salad, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin creme brule. mmmmm. not really diet material, but oh well!

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
