Well my mouse seems to be the culprit(ie-my keyboard possession of last week), so I'll be going out to get a new mouse later today. I know that was worrying all of you.....
I actually went to the store last week! Well I didn't go to the grocery store but I bought food at Rite-Aid and Big Lots.
*****************************
And here is the "meal plan" that actually happened last week.....
SUNDAY--Leftover Chinese(from our Dinner Out)
MONDAY--Marin Joe's Special
TUESDAY--Lemon Pepper Chicken w/Zucchini
WEDNESDAY--Hamburger Helper type casserole, leftover Squash casserole
THURSDAY--Kielbasa on Rolls, homemade Pickles, Green Beans
FRIDAY--Take-out Italian
SATURDAY--LeftoversEverything was cooked/served as planned except for the Quiche on Friday. I didn't get out for a pie crust so we got Italian from the local joint. I had Lasagna and Hubs had an Italian Sub. That was all the eating out/take-out we did all week.
The weekly food spending was $42.36 done in 2 trips to Rite-Aid and 1 trip to Big Lots. A large chunk of that($33+) was stocking up on Gatorade for #2 Son and Juice. I didn't darken the door of a grocery store at all last week. ;-)
The
regular retail value for all was $132.59 so I had a 68.05% savings
rate.
Going into the new week I have the following leftovers to use
up......1 piece of cornbread.
The garden has decided to finally produce something other than radishes, so I have a big pile of green beans and 4 yellow squash going into this week.
***********************
This week's menu.....Hubs has vacation this week, so I am not going to designate which meals for which days. He might want to be spontaneous(imagine that!lol)and go or do something with little notice so I am keeping my plan loose & flexible this week.

As usual we're the "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of folks... I'm actually leaving everyone else to fend for themselves tonight while I take some of them to a s'mores party at the fairgrounds tonight. I'll probably get a brat there.
