Eggs are at their lowest price

In order to help our readers cope with, among other things, the repercussions of rising food prices, our new collaborator Myriam Gendron, creator of the site
offers a low-cost menu every week based on the best grocery discounts of the week.

Grocery store discounts from February 15 to 21, 2024

This week, I’m offering you a spring-style menu to forget winter for a few moments!

Asparagus is on sale almost everywhere. Store them in a jar with a little water in the fridge so they stay nice and crunchy for longer. As with flowers, simply cut off a little of the end of the stems (also called the “heel”) and place them upright in the container. The most important thing is to change the water base often to prevent them from getting moldy, but you will see that this tip will allow you to extend their lifespan.

Happy cooking!

Consider cooking 3-4 additional chicken thighs (just need to oil, salt and pepper them) for the tabbouleh lunch. For greens, baby spinach would also do the trick.

Since it’s the English cucumber that is featured, 1/3 of the latter should replace the two Lebanese cucumbers perfectly (you can also slice them into semicircles).
