LWD GROCERY HAUL

February 2025 ~ Week Three

 

This week we have two grocery hauls of sorts. David went to Pruett’s Saturday to purchase a roast and came home with a lot more – ha! I’ll share his “haul” first and then my Monday order second. 

I didn’t do a regular shopping haul on Monday last week because we were out of town Tuesday through Friday. I figured we had enough on hand to get by for the weekend. But David still wanted to cook a roast Sunday so that’s why he went to the store. And apparently chili dogs sounded good to him so that’s we had for lunch Sunday. I’m actually surprised he didn’t come home with a bunch of sweets. 😉

What is the egg situation like in your area? This one store still has a good price on the Equally Yolked brand of free range eggs. Other brands are higher and there are lot of empty spaces in the egg section. I looked online at other stores in our area and they range from around $6-10 a dozen with limited supplies. I suspect we will be dealing with this issue for the foreseeable future as H5N1 (avian flu) continues to spread. 

Here are a few articles explaining the issue:

Why are egg prices up? Is there a shortage? What we know on why eggs are so expensive right now

I’m already making a change. Instead of tacos tonight, I’m making a Mexican casserole.
