*Well I am 3 days late this week posting my Menu. I still wanted to get it up anyway.*
It's the "Quick Weekend Reunion Trip" Edition.......
It was nice weather this year for the Reunion. I was so relaxed that I didn't even take any photos while we were there, except for this one of a floral arrangement to commemorate my 1st cousin 1 x removed, Hilda, who died earlier this year.
I was able to connect with 2 of Hilda's daughters at the reunion this year as well as talk with another 1st cousin 1 x removed at length.
Between the heat that day and yakking I forgot all about my camera until late in the day.
Oh well.
Moving on......
Here's what was planned last week--
5 meals cooked at home, 2 of them nights of leftovers, 2 nights Eating Out(we were away) and 0 night of Take-Out.
We had so many leftovers still that after Tuesday I stopped cooking and we ate leftovers exclusively until we went out of town. Crab cake meal gets moved again and though it's on this coming week's menu, it may or may not happen this week too.

As for the grocery spending.....3 trips to Weis(1 just for carrots)and 1 trip to the Shursave grocery store brought my weekly spending to $113.02 and my September food spending total to $617.52 with 4 days to go in the month.
I just don't want to think about this month's food spending anymore. 8-(
Leftovers going into this week........beef bourguinon, 1 chicken thigh w/peppers, 1/2 turkey breast, stuffing.

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?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

Pork loins were on sale, and the "meal deal" at the store where with the purchase of the pork, you got a free bag of fresh broccoli florets, bag o instant potato, and gravy. I got the smallest loin, $10.92, and it will easily give us three meals of meat for the three of us. We'll have one night with the freebies, one night with leftover cheesy potatoes from DD's party, and another night on leftover buns with hash brown patties-spread out a bit, so three meals planned, plus frozen pizza night, tacos, and a chow mein night and some sort of pasta to round out the week.
ReplyDeleteWe are just winging it around here. I am trying to eat down all the stuff in the freezer but it is slow going.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, thought I posted. I must have thought about posting! If some of your spending was stocking up on cheap items, you probably can reign it in this next month. I always have faith in your ability to do so!
