The "What Makes America Great, at Least in Louisiana" Edition.....

      

Saw these shirts recently in Walmart for sale as it's almost the Fourth of July.  Yep, BBQ, Beer and Freedom on a tank top are worth celebrating down here for our Country's Birthday. lolz

Onward to the meal planning!

5. Thursday--Whatever we didn't have leftover on Monday lolz

6. Friday--Cheddar Broccoli Potato Bake

7. Saturday--Don't know?

And here's what actually happened....

1. Sunday--Ribeye Steak, Bake Potato, Roasted Corn on cob(Father's Day)

2. Monday--Leftover Fajita stuff or Stir-Fry

3. Tuesday--No Trivia so Zaxby's Chicken

4. Wednesday--Salad, Onion Rings

5. Thursday--Take n' Bake Pizza, Caesar Salad

6. Friday--Catfish, Broccoli Slaw, Baked Sweet Potato Fries

7. Saturday--Leftover Stir-Fry(no rice)

Father's Day was Hubs request of steak, tater and corn on cob.

Trivia was cancelled as the bar closed down that day unbeknownst to us so we pivoted and got Zaxby's on the way home as I had nothing thawed.  We did trivia at another location on Wednesday.  I found a marked down take n' bake pizza at Kroger so that became dinner on Thursday along with a Caesar Salad.  Catfish finally got used on Friday along with the marked down bag of Broccoli Slaw mix.  I still have some asparagus leftover in the fridge so Hubs chopped it up and added it to the leftover Stir-Fry on Saturday.  Stir Fry recipes are good for that, right? ;-)

What got taken out of the freezer last week....

*  2 Ribeye Steaks

*  1+ lbs. of Catfish

What got put into the freezer last week....

*  4 crab cakes                               

Last week we spent $112.18 on grocery shopping. (A lot of that was dog food.)

Total shopping comes to $448.65 for June.   There are 6 shopping days left in June.  

Rebate monies earned this month so far.....

I've earned $185.12 on Ibotta in June.

I've earned $24.75 on Shopmium in June.

I've earned $9.00 on Alexa app in June.

Leftovers going into this week...some Fajita filling.

Here is this week's "food plan".....

3. Tuesday--Dinner out at Trivia

4. Wednesday--Ravioli, Salad

I've got that Cheddar Broccoli bake and Ravioli lingering in the freezer so let's get those gone.  I've got Tuna in the pantry so subs it is too.

I didn't go to Kroger last Friday as I usually do...there was just nothing I wanted, except strawberries, milk,  and now sub rolls, which I'll buy on Tuesday after PT and doctor's appointment.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
