How much??? What did I buy???

Have you ever seen the total of your grocery bill and wondered what you got that was that expensive? I just did. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't nearly $160! But I guess (after looking at the receipt) it's right. We were out of a lot of staples... and I got quite a bit of meat... and a few deals I couldn't pass up... so I guess it's right. Well, it isn't right, but it is correct, LOL! ....I may have to make this stretch a bit further than I thought I would, though!
Do you ever get "sticker shock", or are you one of those people who is able to keep a running total of your order in your head?

Yes, I think meat was a big reason for the higher than average total this time. I got a box of boneless, skinless

That is why fruit costs so much here....and no crops all winter.
Here i get chicken breasts from wal-mart. i don't know if you have that there. But they are good and at a good price. some are $5 or $10. The bigger ones feed us two to three meals with the three of us.
I also get fresh frozen fish there for under $5 a package...cheapest in the area

How do you fix your ground turkey? I tried it years ago and made burgers and meat loaf and it was way too dry. I tried mixing it half and half with lean ground beef, the that didn't taste good either.
My DH gets sticker shock. When I buy groceries. I like to keep food on hand. So I buy more than one. He usually just buys one.
I just use it in casseroles like I would ground beef.

Oh, okay, that's it, it contains fat, that's why it's moist. The one I used had as close to no fat as they could get. Looking at the nutritional counts for Jenny-O ground turkey, it says it contains 17 grams of fat per serving. That is a very large amount. What confuses me though, is that they also say it contains 4.0 grams of saturated fat and 0.5 grams of trans fats with 85 miligrams of cholesterol. I don't know how that adds to 17 grams of total fat.

I might try that again in casseroles whenever I find casserole recipes that I like. Not big on casseroles, but they do stretch the dollar, so I'm going to give it a try.
Thank you for the information.
Glenda there is only one grocery store (overpriced-but nice-
No, thank YOU for the information! I don't get Jennie O, or at least the package looked different, but I'm going to check on the fat in what I do use! The liquid I get when I brown it doesn't look like grease, though. It looks more like water. It wouldn't surprise me to find out
