You may notice that I did not buy any meat this week at the store. No, we have not gone vegetarian! A few weeks ago, I mentioned
that my mom and I would be visiting Earth Fare in Hoover. I received a coupon from Earth Fare that gave
me 1 free chicken (any size!) with the purchase of $10 or more. You better believe that I was all over this
deal. My mom and I both received coupons
via email and proudly found the biggest birds we could in the store. Mine weighed over 5 pounds. We brought a big cooler filled with ice from
home, to keep our chickens cool on the drive back to Tuscaloosa. Some of you may be thinking that we are
crazy. We are. As soon as I got home, I immediately cut up
my chicken and froze it. The point of my
story is that this week I have over 5 pounds of chicken to turn into delicious meals. Hence, my meat free trip to the grocery
store. I noticed that prices are going
up at Publix. Food prices are increasing
globally and are expected to increase through 2013. My organic celery was $0.50 more and my
organic eggs were $0.30 more. Now, $0.80
is not huge increase, but the kosher salt I bought used to be $0.99. Now it retails for $1.19. I first took notice of the small price
increases over the summer. It seems like
nothing will be left unaffected. On a happier note, I purchased
organic coconut milk for the first time in my life. Why? I
am making Pumpkin ice cream. It should
be my next food blog post J
