In addition to meat, we get free eggs, milk, TP, paper towels, candy/ice cream (if we're craving it), etc. The only meat I buy elsewhere is rotisserie chicken since they don't make it. The grocery section is limited, so we still buy specialty items elsewhere. He also donates a turkey to the family I adopt every Christmas. Tonight he's marinating a couple steaks for me to fry & is bringing home some bacon for my green bean recipe (+ mashed potatoes).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-50632627238143513882016-09-18T03:39:44.883-05:002016-09-18T03:39:44.883-05:00Ur-spo,

He told me that even though I need to carry the Epipen, I can have what does not obviously cause me a problem. Today, I ate a homemade sweet roll from the market and did not suffer after one bite, so I ate the rest later.<br /><br />When I ate the bacon, nothing happened. Well, I learned I cannot eat much pork. Beef is off the table forever. And lamb. I love bacon but will not eat pork often. It's a tricky balance, and I may not eat pork ever if there is one reaction!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-85475597239883310572016-09-15T16:46:49.148-05:002016-09-15T16:46:49.148-05:00Isn't bacon from a mamal?Isn't bacon from a mamal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-19100873321082944222016-09-15T14:00:20.355-05:002016-09-15T14:00:20.355-05:00Sonya Ann,

Buying food is not something I was eager to do until I read the Sprouts and Kroger ad. I need to read the ones that came in the mail today. <br />Grapes at $0.99/lb did pique my interest.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-26355659166524628972016-09-15T05:01:44.781-05:002016-09-15T05:01:44.781-05:00I love bacon but since I gave up pork, only turkey...I love bacon but since I gave up pork, only turkey bacon for me!
