After I had taken Gina out for her Friday afternoon walk it was time to do some grocery shopping for the upcoming easter weekend. At lot of stuff I had already purchased during the week. Especially items with an long expiration date. I also had preordered the meat for at my local butcher. While buying the meat there is maybe a little more expensive than buying at the supermarket, but I get exactly the cut of meat I want and I know the quality is very good.
So first thing I picked up the meat at the butcher and the 1,6 kg (4 lbs) cost me about 16 bucks what actually is a very good deal. Next up was my local grocery store. I still needed some seasonings and a really good base for the soup I will be cooking the meat in. Of course I could have bought beef broth, but I just hate that. It just tastes generic and doesn't allow for any individual taste. And since I love to cook I was going to make the soup entirely from scratch. Had to buy bread, mushrooms, onions and some sandwich meat as well. Was done with my grocery shopping in under 30 minutes. To my surprise the store wasn't packed for this being a Friday afternoon/early evening. And the total came in around 30 bucks. Considering that this was 3 day holiday weekend this isn't bad at all.
