Packing away more protein. Got a cheap $5 pack of chicken breast cuts and a marked down package of boned and skinned chicken thighs for $4.36. Decided to can that with Corky's BBQ sauce and diced potatoes that I got on markdown today. Got 6 pints of that. Took the two lbs of catfish filets I picked up a couple days ago and got 2 pints of that. Picked up some Oscar Mayer weenies on sale for $1.77 a pack and cut 2 packages into chunks and cooked them in water to add to chili later on or eat with beans. Got 3 jars of those. They had the 8-packs of 73% frozen burgers on sale for $10 a pack and got two of those a couple days ago - 8 patties each bag. I had to thaw and reshape them to fit in the jars but got 4 pints of 4 burgers per jar out of that. Pretty good run for protein. Picked up 3 marked down bags of tangerines today that I will be peeling and canning in heavy syrup, and drying the peels for anti-nausea tea if needed. May make a tincture out of some. Made a good deal on marked down teas for about $1.50 a box rather than $3-$5 retail. Saved $10 or so on teas alone. Picked up one marked down bag with 3 large tomatoes today that the GF cut up with a couple of tomatoes from the last markdown haul on tomatoes a couple days ago and pickled them with peppers, sauteed onions, garlic and whatnot and will get 6 half pints of that veggie mix. Got an extra cup of tomato juice for immediate drinking too. Been a busy afternoon.
