Just going to throw this out there

I love Kroger, but Food Giant has some great meat prices from time to time. Every few months they will do a Bacon sale. You can get the big pack of Wrights for about 9 to 11. I bought three packs back in bay and freeze it.

Saw a video the other day where a guy found a grocery receipt from 2019 for $175 bucks for his groceries for the month. He went to the same grocery store the other day and bought the exact same stuff/same brand and the total came to $409

That is what has killed us past two years. Just have to keep redoing the budget over and over again. It's kind of difficult to do when one of your incomes is fixed.

They still make shake and bake? I haven't seen that in years. I used to love me some shake and bake chicken thighs.

Yep, we keep it in the pantry. I’m not as big a fan of the chicken but the pork is excellent.

Not so much in my world. We just buy the bigger packages. $3.33/ lb on sale almost every week for 3 lbs. Really good stuff too, Hill's out of Pendleton, OR... Might be a regional thing on pricing, I'm certain bacon demand in the south is quite a bit higher than out here... The reverse of tofu one could guess.

That said, the Krogers had pork butt on sale, which means if you have any kind of smoking skills you can eat like a king.

Outside of ground chuck, I refuse to buy meat from Kroger. It's terrible. Their butts, steaks, brisket, etc. Even their wings. And yes, I set my expectations accordingly. Their providers inject so much preservatives (salt solution) into their meats that it kills the flavor.
