Other than our normal, weekly need for fresh produce and dairy products, the only things I purchased out of the ordinary this week was cube steak ($1.99/lb) for chicken-fried steak because I've been craving it (thanks, Jo and Melissa for Tweeting about it!), bacon because it was "Buy 1, Get 1 Free", which saved me over $5.00, and boneless, skinless chicken breasts ($2.69/lb) because we were completely out (no clue how that happened... can I blame pregnancy brain?!?).
