We are parked at a military base, $23/ night vs $75/night, and decided to do a restock shop at the commissary.
Here is what we bought for the next week or so:
Pretzels since we are out of the chips we brought
Poptarts for breakfast since they were on sale
Onion soup mix for burgers since it was only fifty cents for two envelopes
Italian dressing for salad
Canned sliced peaches, pears and mango since fresh was costly
Chocolate frosting for a chocolate cake I made
Greek yogurt to go with fruit and for a recipe
Frozen limas for vegetable variety
Premade garlic bread to make pizza and serve with meals
Multi grain bread for sandwiches and toast
Rainbow sweet peppers for pizza and salad
Green onions, cucumber, salad greens and tomatoes for salad
Carrots for salad and vegetable variety
Bagels for breakfast and to serve with meals
Brownie mix because Mike is hungry for some
Green tomatoes because I love them
The above cost us $34.23.
We still have prefrozen meals, meats, cheeses and eggs. So, we are all set for awhile now at a cost that doesn't break the bank.
I could have made the pizza crust and bread and skipped the onion soup mix, but opted for ease and convenience over cost. The poptarts, brownies, and green tomatoes are pure treats. Money isn't everything. :)
