This Week on the Dining Table...........the April 7th Edition

"What Is Wrong With People?!"

Do you see that small blue item in this photo?  It's a dental pick in the elevator in the medical building where one of my doctors has an office.
This is whole nasty level from leaving used dental picks outside in the parking lot.  And there are multiple trash receptacles in the lobby of this building.  What is wrong with people?

Onward to the meal planning!
Here is what was planned for the last week.....
1. Sunday--Beef and Broccoli
2. Monday--Leftover Mushroom Parmesan, Salad
3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken Marsala, Leftover Cabbage
4. Wednesday--Poultry Pot Pies, Salad
5. Thursday--Scallops, Green Beans
6. Friday--Leftover Beef and Broccoli
7. Saturday--Leftovers(if no leftovers, we'll think up something else)

And here's what actually happened....
1. Sunday--Beef and Broccoli
2. Monday--Leftover Mushroom Parmesan, Salad
3. Tuesday--Leftover Chicken Marsala, Leftover Cabbage
4. Wednesday--Leftover Beef and Broccoli
5. Thursday--Scallops, Green Beans
6. Friday--Lemon Pepper Chicken w/Zucchini 
7. Saturday--Pork Loin Stir-Fry Veggies

Most everything happened(except the pot pies)but not necessarily when planned.

What got taken out of the freezer.......
*  Thin Steak
*  Chicken Thighs
*  Scallops

Last week we spent $21.76 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 53.64%. Spending for the month is $21.76 and the savings rate is 53.64% for April before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in April-
$35.93 on Ibotta
$0 on Checkout51
$0 on Aisle and Misc.
$35.93 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is -$14.17  I used some gift cards to pay so that is why my total is negative. ;-)

7,650 Pts. on Fetch
0 Pts. on SwagBucks
346 Pts. on My Points
26 Pts. on ShopKick
0 Pts. on TaDa
(I don't count these until I cash out for a gift card or cash.)

Before AND after rebates we had a low spend month for groceries at least for us.

Leftovers going into next week...Pork w/Stir-Fry Veggies

Here is what was planned for this week.....
1. Sunday--Catfish, Brussels Sprouts
2. Monday--Poultry Pot Pies, Salad
3. Tuesday--Lasagna Casserole, Carrots
4. Wednesday--Shrimp, Leftover Green Beans
5. Thursday--Chicken Parmesan, Veggie TBD
6. Friday--Salmon, Baked Sweet Potato Fries
7. Saturday--Steak, Salad

Just trying to eat down what is here when I'm not getting great deals.  I chose my meals by cherry picking the deals and building meals around those items, combined with what is in my freezer.
What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week.

    In the time it took to take a picture and complain you could have put a tissue over your hand and bent over to pick it up. But nah. Just complain. What IS wrong with people indeed.

      As a public service announcement, don not pick or touch discarded dental picks.
      Or used tampons . Really anything with bodily fluid or excrement them.
      Unless you have on rubber gloves.
      It's surprising anyone would need to be told that

    People who throw their trash on the ground are slobs. I wonder if they do that at home too? Somehow I doubt it unless they’re hoarders.
