The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 24, 2023

I kind of hate Black Friday because I dislike crowds and limited-quantity offers. So typically, the only brick-and-mortar store I go to the day after Thanksgiving is a grocery store. Grocery stores are wonderfully empty right after Thanksgiving! Every day, even Black Friday, is Commit Cat Crimes Day for Chiquita.

They all rewards that were for Thanksgiving ingredients that were on my grocery list, so I wasn’t buying things that I didn’t need just to get the deal. I roasted my free turkey that I received from Giant and as you’ll see below I used the meat and stock through out the week for my meal planning.

When I made my menu and shopping list last Friday, turkey was NOT on the list. I roasted it immediately and used the meat of it for this week’s meals. I also made a bone stock and froze 2 (2 cup) portions of chopped meat to use later. Sunday: We went out for a large lunch after church and just had leftovers for dinner.
