Here's this week's meal plan---
On the shopping list......some turkey lunchmeat for me, some salad greens, milk, oj, cantaloupe, yogurt, burritos(for #2 son) and some specials like sugar, bread, celery, etc.
I'll try to keep it under $50 this week.

As for food spending last week.....I spent $109.68 on $157.64 worth of groceries at 3 stores. We spent under $8 for the week and then spent over $100 total at Walmart on Friday on the way down and at Food Lion Sunday on the way home from the Reunion. Some of that $ was for party supplies but most of it was for soda and wine stock ups for home so it's coming out of the food budget.
As for food waste, nothing last week. 8-))

I spent the day making 8 casseroles & 6 dozen muffins, but I'm hoping to use that when I go back to work at the end of the month. I think we're going out to pizza tonight for a school fundraiser. Also, I'm tired of cleaning the kitchen today after all that baking. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHubby is making spaghetti right now, but I want a grilled cheese sandwich. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have two chicken breasts from last Friday. He got a smoked turkey from the freezer for me that day when he was here. Today, I tried valiantly to separate the legs, thighs, and wings for him. It took the two of us cutting and pulling. Then, I heated just what we were going to eat. I only have the breast left for me. Potatoes with skin on, carrots, and cabbage were the vegetables. So, I have the leftovers from today and chicken from last week to consume, plus a huge pot of vegetables that I just now realized I forgot to put in the onion. When the cooked vegetables run low, I will add some green beans to the menu. The rest of the cabbage will be cole slaw.
ReplyDeleteI commented that the smoked turkey would be good in a pot of beans. Exbf said it would be delicious. I never thought smoked turkey would be so delicious! I bought it smoked.
