Shopping around the World

Today, we are joining Bacon and The Canadian Cats in Shopping Around the World Hop!

This month's recipe and shopping spree is about FISH!

 

We shopped at 3 stores for our dinner:

Tony's Fish Market, Oregon City, Or.

Spicer Brother's Produce, Oregon City, Or.

Fred Meyer (Kroger), Oregon City, Or.

 

We will be making Fettuccine with Smoked Salmon.

 

Fettuccine is on sale today....Score!

.88 cents

 

Going for the premium stuff!

We need a 1/2 pound, $6.50

 

Yeah, the low calorie cream cheese is on sale!

$2.29

Never tried this before, but the recipe calls for 1 cup......

Any suggestions for the remaining 3 cups?

$2.89

We just need 2 tablespoons of fresh Dill.

We bought the whole plant, so we can grow more for later!

Also, the clerk sold the plant for 1/2 price because it looked scraggly, but our green paws can fix that!

Reg. price $2.99,  Scraggly price $1.49

 

Mmmmmm♥
