We're now testing out our slide show presentation. Auntie has noticed when trying to reproduce a video recipe in real time... you have to watch it 4 times! Please let me know what you my viewers think.

Boneless Petite Steaks $5.99 a pound! WOW!
My problem is I only want enough steak for one dinner. 🙄 If he shopper with a family of three decides to purchase this deal they have opened themselves up to a lot of work. 1.6 pounds is needed for a dinner. The remaining steak has to be packaged into two freezer bags with 1.6 in each bag, enough for two more dinners. You'd better have enough room in your freezer to store both for one week and the remaining package for two to three weeks. In today's economy families can only afford beef maybe 3 to 4 times a month. Expecting the average shopper to figure this out is, in my opinion, a high bar. Expecting the average shopper to spend $28.75 on one item is a big ask. How much is this one item in their cart going to bring up their total spend at the cash register? Grocery stores in general are basically making a shopper plan their food budget for 3 to 4 weeks 😳 Can you do it?

🎃 Auntie Mommie's Kitchen: WASTE NOTHING! What do you do with leftover ham, cooked macaroni, and the last bit of Kraft cheese powder? Make dinner! I froze the scraps from an earlier ham steak dinner, then worked a little magic with butter, milk, and 3 cups of leftover macaroni. Voilà! Creamy ham and mac! Add a fresh spring-greens salad with markdown maitake mushrooms, avocado, onion, and ranch dressing. Three satisfying meals for just $5.49, or $1.83 per person! A little imagination, a few bargains, and nothing wasted. 💗 Make-do cooking with Auntie!
