It's been interesting so far on the food front. Some days we've stuck to our plan of eating Breakfast(supplied at the motel)and then just eating one main meal late afternoon/early evening. And some days we've needed two meals during the day.
At one point I bought applesauce cups to keep in the car so I know I can get fruit along the way in my diet. Veggies have been a struggle tho.
And staying away from national chains and going with local or regional restaurants instead has been hit and miss.
It's a real mixed bag out there when you avoid McDonald's, Burger King, etc. both in cost and quality.
Moving On....

Last week saw 1 night of home cooked dinners, 0 nights of leftovers and 1 nights of Take-Out and 5 nights of Eating on the Road.
I made 0 trips to the Weis Markets or any other store at home but I did browse 2 grocery sources while on the road(and bought a few things, mostly snacks and gifts). All totaled all the food spending came to "I don't have a clue". I'll have to delay this keeping track feature until I get home. I am having Daughter keep all receipts for her purchases and of course I'll keep all mine and tally the sad, sad truth when I get home. ;-)
My savings percentages last week and for the month so-far? No clue. 8-)))
Leftovers going into this week........again, no clue. We don't have leftovers while traveling, we just have to dump or leave what we don't finish.

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?

It all sounds wonderful! Happy Trails!
ReplyDeleteEating non-chain is always a crap shoot! I like lots of food in the car to eat. Once when I was traveling for a week with my brother and sister, I went into a restaurant and got a salad. I ate until I was stuffed, then brother and sister ate some. I think I finished it before the dressing went bad, all in the car.
ReplyDeleteYou must really feel out of your element, not a bad thing necessarily.
OOH, Tuesday's dinner sounds delish!!!!
