The one thing I have never had problems with is grocery shopping and running a home.
I am a complete throwback when it comes to homemaking. I can't help it, I have always enjoyed it and I get such pleasure and such a sense of calmness from indulging in my nest-building tendencies.
So, I thought I should share some of my mad skills when it comes to groceries and homemaking by way of a tip of the week.
So, this week's Tip of the week:
The serving size of a piece of meat is a hockey puck. I always cut my chicken breasts in half, as well as subdividing my steak, and split my ground beef into correct serving sizes. I freeze them all in individual ziploc baggies. I pre-season the ground beef and pour marinade in with some of the chicken. It is so convenient and budget friendly.
For example, today I bought two steaks for just over $10. By cutting them into accurate serving sizes, I not only won't over-eat, but I have 6 steaks now. That is six meals for the price of 2.

I don’t think you’ll find a place across the globe that isn’t impacted by
ever increasing food prices. Canada ranks particularly high with regards to
food ...

I'm very big on having big cooking evenings then portioning everything up and freezing it at the moment. It's a really good time saver and I recommend it to everyone, but they look at me like I'm nuts.
Glad to know I'm not alone!
I do this too. I don't know how big a hockey puck is, I usually go by the size of my palm for 1 meat serving.
Great tips! I think so many people eat huge portions of meat not realizing what an actual portion is!
