<p>Tuesday: Soup, bread ( I am not sure what kind yet, we are out of potatoes and there are none on sale, so it will be whatever I come up with)<p>
I went grocery shopping today and hopefully we got enough stuff as sales were sort of sparse! We have food in the freezer though!  We ran out of soy sauce today! You know, I think we have had to only buy 2 containers from Costco, maybe just one since we have been married. It is like $3-4 there for  a large bottle. F. really loves soy sauce, so it is  nice to have it cheap. I have a bottle that I refill  that I got discounted for that purpose, so we keep it full in the fridge. <p>
I am thinking of trying a oven peach french toast again sometime, when I make french bread myself. Last time I thought it was excellent, but needed a little longer cooking. I got some canned peaches last week for .50 so it would be nice to try and this week. There is the discount carts at a local grocery store, but you have to watch to see if you are getting things cheap or not as sometimes they do not even mark them below normal price! They had canned tomatoes in there for .50 a can, but they cost .50 a can normally! The canned fruit is nice as it is usually half of what it is normally! <p> Oh, I managed to get a whole chicken that was marked down, not on sale, but .69 a pound. You should have seen my three year old’s eyes when I got home! "Chicken, Mama?" he said "It will be ‘nummy!!"<p>
