Ärende: Stocking up, big run!
=============================
Just for the fun of it all, I should post my bootie ;-)

Now, I was almost scraping the ice out of the box at this stage but i've
gotten back in the habit of 2-3 month 'big trips' then fresh veggies every
week or so at places on the way home.

Some of this stock is a 6 month load like the chicken thighs at 39/lb (got 7
family packs of that!).  We had little but a few bits of tilapia and a few
pre-made asian sorts of things you fry in a little oil.  We were out of oil
;-)

So, 450$ later...

Grin, it almost didnt fit in the extra freezer.  I had to use paper grocery
bags after rebagging it all, to keep it sorta separate.

7 Family packs of thighs, about 16 thighs each pack.  .39/lb
2 packs pork ribs (real ribs), we cut each to 1/3 so have 6 portions for 3
2 perfect pork roasts
1 pork sholder with skin on
2 smallish beef pot roasts (fat perfect on one side)
4 lbs ground beef (we do not eat this often anymore)
6 small beef steaks
6 lbs 'ham bits' (these are cured ham portions chopped off for sizing others)
4lbs smoked ham hocks
1 keilbasa (grin)
1 beef tenderloin, whole now sliced to 1 inch thick 'steaks', made 9 of them.
3lbs turkey wings
4lbs chicken wings
1 3lb chicken, whole

We planned to stop at Asian Market at this stage for fish and what little I
saw at the commisary didnt impress me.

As we finished up though, we skipped that stage.

The leeks looked really good so got 4 of them as i'm a favorite leeky cook
;-)

Then about 10 cans of various soups
10 bags of dried beans, differnt types
20 lbs white bread flour
20 lbs rice, calrose medium (yes, it's gone up by more than double!)
10 cans various veggies (we had some still from last trip)
40 lbs dogfood (purina 1)
6 cans wet dog food (had a coupon for 75cents off a 4 pack of pedigree)
5 lbs dog bones (several types, he likes to mix and match).
4 bags, 1 lb each, various pasta shapes (elbow, egg noodle, shells, rotini)

4 frozen pizzas
5 Mare Callanders TV dinners
5 Budget gourmet TV meals (simple stuff for work for me).
1 Breyers icecream in strawberry
1 eddys icecream in chocolate mint
1 24 pack bomb pops
1 24 pack regular simple popsicles

2 cans hot-n-spicy V8
1 jar whole peppercorns
1 jar celery salt
5 packs prepared gravys (pork, chicken, turkey, beef, 'brown').  Don uses

Perfect find?  Sugar cane at 89cents a pack of 4 with 5 joints each

Man, I'm stuffed just looking at it all! It took 2 carts to get it out there
and 2 guys to get it in the car.  Then it took us almost an hour to cut all
the meat down and repackage it to '3 folks eating' sizes.  Needless to say,
I'm tired <g>.

Now, gotta start a crockpot with a hunk of meat.  Looking at the leeks,
baby red potatoes, some carrots I already had, onions, broth (just a bit,.
makes it's own fast) and celery.  Humm.
