On one hand, having food allergies is more expensive.
Some ingredients just cost more.
On the other hand, it can be quite frugal in a way....simply because you have to cook your own.
My daughter and I spent hours getting mixes, seasonings, canned and boxed items, etc. together for our upcoming vacation.
I was able to pull all of this from our food storage so that was nice.
I also have a turkey breast bought on sale at Thanksgiving that will come from the freezer.
I’m picking up my extra meats the day we leave.
When we arrive at our destination — grocery prices are higher there — I will pick up fresh fruit, eggs, and a few things like that.
Basically the items I don’t want to try to transport that far.
Not too bad for a week’s meals of 3 a day for 6 people.
Wow, such organization! It looks great, I hope you all have a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are several days into our trip and it working out well. I packed the Instant Pot, meal mixes, and pantry items. I had to pick up some fresh items here, but this is still working pretty well.
DeleteWow! That's impressive and really smart! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful time. All those mixes should make things very easy as well as yummy. I know, it's so worth making your own food vs. feeling miserable while on vacation. It's one of many reasons we love our camper...it's safe food/pots/pans/etc.
