Beef stew and 4 buck Chuck

November 5th, 2006 at 03:58 am

That's for dinner tonight. I got a relatively good deal on well-raised beef stew pieces (I don't remember if they were organic or not) - $2.99/lb (its usually $3.99 or $4.99/lb). We are now also in the beginnings of the November food sales here - canned chicken stock was going 2 for .89, and so were the cans of stewed, diced, and whole tomatoes. That, and for general cleaning, and for cleaning out a lot of produce from the refrigerator made for a very good day.

The $3.99 Charles Shaw shiraz came from the wine cellar via Trader Joes. I took a dusty bottle. After all, what special event was I saving it for?

Found 11 cents in my general cleaning, so I got paid for my work. Smile

It's going to be a very rainy, windy, stormy weekend here. Really, all we did was eat breakfast, hit the grocery store, and hole up reading blogs. Tonight I do some writing for DJ Myng.

    Didn't it used to be $2 buck chuck? Inflation stinks!

    I remember about 10 years ago that on a really good sale you could get chuck for 99cents/lb. We still will rarely find it on sale for $1.99/lb but those days are nearly gone, right along with the 99cent hamburger. That I really miss.

    Mjrube - Only remember it as 3 buck chuck because WA state liquor tax is $1, so they pass the tax onto us. So a combo of inflation and taxes. Smile
