Week 44 – Menus and Shopping List

This week I got a great buy on a pork tenderloin, cooked turkey breast, and chicken. If its close to the sell by date they reduce the price. In this case it was under three dollars for the pork tenderloin. When that happens I buy a few and stick them in the freezer. They thaw out overnight in the refrigerator and cook fast for a busy weeknight meal. The precooked turkey breast is a generous piece of meat that costs around $12 that I stretch over a week and a half to two week period. I keep my refrigerator cool enough so it doesn’t go bad. I like buying it when I need food fast due to a busy schedule. Most of my meals for weekdays generally take around 30 minutes to prepare, like the poor mans risotto. The chicken was a good buy that I cut in half and used for two nights.
