Eggs!

egg Eggs!

I bet some of you are thinking I am a bit crazy for buying 10 dozen eggs tonight. Well, you might be right but let me see if I can change your mind. Keep in mind you can keep eggs in the fridge for around 5 weeks.

  • I do bake quite a bit on and off and this will give me the chance to make some baked goods to freeze.

  • I also have 3 teen/preteen boys who love eggs for breakfast. Two eggs per person in our family is 10 eggs or almost a dozen. If I scramble them I will just do the two extra and freeze a breakfast burrito for my hubby.

  • Quiche and egg bake make a filling meal and leftovers are easily reheated.

  • Egg salad sandwiches make for an easy lunch.

  • Boiled eggs that are chilled are good snacks and great salad toppers.

  • If all else fails you can freeze eggs by cracking one into each cube of an ice cube tray. They will not be good for frying but you can use them in baked goods.

I hope that maybe I have given you some good frugal ideas to use and abundance of eggs. If you have others please leave a comment!

I headed to town tonight primarily to get to Fareway before eggs went off sale but I did get a few other deals while I was out. I didn’t grocery shop last week so I do have $100 to spend this week but I didn’t even come close tonight. Here are my deals…

I still have $72.79 available to spend this week. Until I see the new ads that come out tomorrow have no idea if I will use that all but if not I can carry it over another week. I did some research when I came home about the cheeseballs and found out I can freeze them. I think I may pick a couple up for a later picnic or special snack night with the family.
