Re: Groceries
Got the extra pack of ribs and brined them 24 hrs (salt, pepper, molasses, brown sugar, red chili, sriracha, bay leaves) and now have the smoker going in the back yard full of pork ribs and hot Italian sausage.

Re: Groceries
Work & some personal stuff saw me unable to do my usual grocery shop this week; I usually shop 3/4 stores for best offers. Also bought a lot of out of season stuff I wouldn't usually look at unless on special offer.
I ended up rushing through a not-local Walmart:
1 dozen large eggs: 3.26$
1lb sweet potatoes: 1.54$
.5 lb Cremini mushrooms: 2.17$
3.3 lb chicken thighs: 10$ (Special offer)
16 Italian sausages: 10$ (Special offer)
1l EVOO: 4.97$
2 x 796ml canned tomatoes: 1$ each
3 heads garlic: 0.67$
1 lb butter: 3.97$
1 Fake Camembert: 3.97$
500ml half & half: 3.02$
1lb courgettes: 3.99$
1lb red peppers: 3.37$
1 aubergine (just under 1lb): 3.11$
1lb "vine-ripened" tomatoes: 2.39$
2 bunches fresh spinach: 2.47$
1lb bacon: 2.97$

Re: Groceries
Sometimes I wonder if there are spies in the alternative camps as the two main supermarkets here often have the same products on offer, albeit not the same prices. But every now and then I see this...
From the latest flyers arriving yesterday:
Asparagus Superstore $2.99/Sobeys $3.99
Top Sirloin $4.88/ $5.99
Cauliflower $2.99/no offer but $6.99 last week.
