It pains me to write this. Remember the 9 lbs. of chicken that I bought for $1.68 a pound? Well, on the day that I bought it, it was 90 degrees out and humid. After my big shopping trip, I had to stop by CVS. I was in CVS maybe 15 or 20 minutes. The chicken was in the car. . . Not a good thing.
Two days later I started smelling a funk. A bad funk every time I opened the refrigerator. I took out the chicken to put it in the freezer, and much to my disappointment and annoyance, the chicken was causing the stench. The label said it should be sold within the next 7 days. It should have been fresh still, but it was bad. . .very, very bad and stinky.
I don’t know if the chicken was bad quality to begin with or if it was my roasting car. I am guessing it is the latter. Ugghh. Such an expensive frugal failure.

I feel your pain. I'm very bad about letting things go bad, especially produce. Oh well, at least you learned something! :)
You might want to take an ice-filled cooler and/or insulated cooler bags on summer grocery days. That way you can still bunch errands to hit the sales and not worry about the perishables! Hope that helps.
Yes, I am definitely planning to do that from now on. What an expensive lesson!
I am so sorry!!! I hate it when that happens. Last night I dreamed I accidentally put many, many pounds of meat in the cabinets instead of the fridge and found it days later! Talk about annoyed. Glad it was just a dream! :)
