$5.99 for Mission low carb flour tortillas?? for 10 of them?? How in the he** did I do that. That is what happens when you live in a small town, your daughter photographed the checker's daughter's wedding and you have known her for 20 years and you are talking the whole time. So I give her the money for the tortillas and quart of half and half yakking the entire time. I did not even notice until this morning when I started to write down yesterday's spending (doing this since went from cash to debit card, see last entry). Okay next time I will go to slightly out of the way Winco in Eureka instead of stopping at easy Safeway in my town.
DH is shorthanded at our business right now. I worked as cashier yesterday for 3 hours and was beat!! It makes me even more determined to keep the house and yard clean, and make delicious frugal meals, stretching every penny he earns.
My menu for the week has already changed since there is still leftover chili and I found some ham that was supposed to be eaten by 09/30, but not opened yet. So I need to find some good thing to make with deli ham. DH suggested we have baked potato with assorted toppings, which is what I will do tonight, but that will not use all the ham. We also have pancetta that needs to be eaten, but that is easy.... pasta dish.
I know, brussel sprouts with ham. That would be delish!
Okay time for lunch and in to get my flu shot.
Did I really spend that??

Ugh.
Good job eating up the back of the fridge specials. I made burritos last night with all that lonesome food.

You can extend the life of your deli ham if you pan fry it just long enough to get it very hot, then cool and put it into the freezer. Be prepared for it to lose a lot of moisture, though. You could also cut it up into bits and panfry till quite brown and crisp. Then freeze the bits for addition to eggs and salads where you could think of them more like bacon bits.

As Joan mentions above, I too cut up ham (I haven't fried it, though that sounds good) and freeze for future use in crockpot recipes and scrambled eggs. (I cut up and freeze most leftover meat or else it just languishes in the frig until inedible :-)

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I am trying to figure out something with ham and the 5 tortillas left from that expensive package!! I told my husband this morning about how much the tortillas were and he was like, "how did you miss that when it was rang up". I said, "Gina was the cashier". Enough said.
Joan, I thought the same thing. How to make them. I know one of my OD's friend's makes her own, so I am going to look up a recipe and see if I can find one.

My sis used to work at the Safeway there. The older one. She has friends who still work there and at E. Natural Foods, so she manages to get discounts all over town!
