We have a Canada Day celebration here, people get together and sing O Canada and BBQ. I haven't gone, as I'm not Canadian, although guests are welcome.  They decorate the park with flags. 

that is nice. is there a lot of canadians where you live?   celebrations here are pretty much the same as 4th of july.

Now you see my problem?  June was out of control in a huge way.  Granted, July should be much easier because of stocking up in June. 

well at least you are stocked up!  you must have been low in supplies.  of course it does depend on your food prices in your area.  I know chicken breasts are cheap in lots of places but not here when 2.99lb is cheap.

  that is my normal food budget  for 5 of us. give or take $100 for deals etc and if momma don't feel like cooking!

I find things tend to  balance out some months higher  some lower.  as long as the average is ok then I am ok.

Lots of Canadians, I  think.   Hmong, Somolian, Liberians also. 

I can get chicken for 1.79 and sometimes as cheap as 1.50 boneless, skinless.  I do have a very full freezer and pantry.  I am sure July and maybe even August should be easier based on what I already have.  I looked at my pantry and its rediculous, I have 5 or 6 boxes of Tea, 4 - 5 things of dressings and bunch of canned stuff.  I have meat in freezer enough for a month.  I go thru lots.

I am going to start making veggie night only around here and suppliment with a soup.

Just now I sauteed up some mushrooms and some spinach that was going ot go bad, so I will make omeltte at some time tomorrow or next day.

Have you done  breakfast for dinner nights? easy meals and cheap.  

I do envy your guys chicken prices!   I have a full pantry too.  I am going to post a challenge to keep me on the straight and narrow.  need to eat from the pantry and save some money. 

strictly just the fresh stuff to buy!
