My HEB had a ton of eggs on Sat. They also had the note about the heat wave, which confused me b/c they were flush with eggs. They were out of the pinto beans:( I got the tomato sauce and green beans.

I’ve never tried to get a raincheck at HEB, but they’ve told me they wouldn’t take coupons printed from the internet. Of course, that was a year or so ago, so their policy must have changed, considering their own website hosts coupons!

I’m in the Midwest also – last week the closest grocery store flyer arrived Wed. noon – I went to the store after dinner and they were OUT of both meat specials and the cheese that was on sale – no rainchecks. And the fruit that was on special had almost none left, just the bruised/split or wilted bottom of the barrel stuff. Also noticing more empty spots on shelves and shelves where the product is only one or two deep. Hmmm…what gives here?

I’m laughing about the bacon here. When I was first married (like 20 yrs ago) once I put bacon with the green beans for some special occasion. Well 20 yrs later the only way my family will eat green beans is with bacon except the 2 yr old who usually picks it out.

We don’t eat brussel sprouts here though. Lima beans are loved though even just with butter. I do have a baked bean recipe with lima beans that uses bacon.

I know Meijer here in the midwest seems to be doing more restrictions on sales/coupons lately. I think the max amount of coupons is 4 of the same coupon. They also had no rainchecks for their strawberry sales recently. Last week Kroger limited their milk sale to 8- 1/2 gallons. Even my small family uses that much each week. Another store in town that has bananas on sale on Thursday limits it to 5lbs per family.

I haven’t found any recipe in the world that will convince them (or me) to eat lima beans, though.

Bleccchh.

Brussels sprouts are my husbands fave veggie, so that helps. Only one of the kids doesn’t like them. I cook some chopped bacon, add some onions (and garlic, we put garlic in everything), and when the bacon is cooked add the brussels sprouts. Don’t cook over too high a heat, it makes them bitter.

Bacon makes everything better!

>>Wednesday, July 29 – brisket, potatoes, brussels sprouts<<

From one mom to another- Do you really get your kids to eat brussels sprouts?

In my family I would be the only one eating them.- But then I have a hard time getting them to eat peas , carrots, or corn. My older ones are getting better but my 13 year old drives me in sane with his pickiness.
