Yeah....we made it to the end of the first month.....amount spent on groceries this month $130.88
Today we went and picked up our hog and cow that we had processed....we generally use our income tax refund to purchase these two meats and then we are normally set for over a year.
Our hog was from a local farmer in Concord Michigan named Ron Ellison....it was about 100 lbs of meat....processed by Nagel Meats in Homer Michigan
Our cow was from a local farmer in Horton Michigan and it was 600 lbs hanging weight but only 350 lbs of meat.....processed by Custom Meat Cutters in Jackson Michigan
The chickens ( once they arrive in March and get fattened up ) will go to butcher in July.....so we should be set with meat for the entire year!!
We had pork chops, potatoes and apple sauce for dinner tonight..... it tasted wonderful.....nothing like grilling on the weber on the back deck on January 31st when it is 48 degrees outside.
Pleasant Dreams!!!
