......only in America is this a problem. Pops went to Big Y for seniors 7% off. They had chicken leg quarters for $.49 a pound and I knew I had enough room in the freezer for 10 lbs so I gave him a five dollar bill. Guess who came home with 20 pounds of chicken because it was such a good deal. He insisted on not taking the additional 5 dollars from me as he wanted to feel like he was contributing.
This too, is an unusual event. (Dad does not give us any money.......his money is for his enjoyment only.....) I was able to freeze 15 pounds of it but I had to take some stuff out of the freezer LOL. Marinating the other pkg comes out to four legs and four thighs per package really good deal if you need chicken leg quarters. This would feed a normal family for several days. DH and I will probably eat 1.5 of the leg quarters between us. Yes, Dad will eat the rest. No, Dad is not morbidly obese. I honestly wish I had his metabolism. He forgets he eats, sometimes will eat to the point of illness (purging). He could lose some weight, but he is not as big as you would think he should be.
Also, today only is a flash sale on French Bread. Limit 2 nine ounce loaves at .59 each. This is a huge deal if you like their bakery French bread.

Hope you can get on the deals!
OOOH! We love their French Bread! But, I am trying to stay out of the grocery store as much as possible this week...Decisions, decisions! Your dad is too funny - I can imagine your face when he plopped all that chicken down in your kitchen! =)
ReplyDeleteIt was a LOT of chicken!
DeleteDang it, I wish we had a National French Bread event down here too! I've been wondering about your dad's appetite. Do you think he has an eating disorder (since you mentioned the purging)? It must be nice, however, to eat all that and not get huge!
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling better? Is the snow all melted now?
I think you are a saint.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg. I will admit that it took 9 years for me to become this laid back with the situation. I am no saint. My husband, he is the Saint.
