This Week on the Dining Table

The "The Bombogenesis" Edition--

We got a little snow from the Bombogenesis aka Bomb Cyclone aka Nor'Easter that hit the East Coast last week.  Just about 2 inches in total over a couple days.  My brother down in SEVA got 12 inches at his house.  They don't "do" snow down there and certainly not a foot of it at a time.  He's been shoveling for 4 days now and they haven't gone anywhere since it started snowing as the roads are still a mess.

Last week saw 6 nights of home cooked dinners, 1 night of leftovers/fend for yourself, 0 nights of take-out and 0 night of Eating out.
NYE was finger foods of items picked up for cheap and I turned some premade meatballs Daughter bought this Summer into cocktail meatballs with a great sauce using a can of cranberry glop and a bottle of chili sauce.  I used part of the leftover Roast from Christmas to make hash one night.  A Stouffer's meatloaf picked up cheap at Weis last week was served with leftover mac and cheese also from Christmas with fresh asparagus as well.  The ravioli was a quick meal and the enchiladas(a big production)happened the night Daughter's BF arrived from Louisiana.

2 Trips to Weis was the extent of the shopping last week and the bill came to $60.60 for all.  That brought January's food spending total to $60.60.
There are 23 days left in my shopping month.  

My savings percentages last week was 48.79% and the monthly savings so far ends up at 48.79%(without Rite-Aid trips added in).

Leftovers going into this week....... rolls, an entire pan of enchiladas, spanish rice, a little mac and cheese, 1 piece of pizza and 2 servings of ravioli in sauce.

Here is this week's "food plan".....

1. Sunday--Country Fried Steak, Mashed Taters, Gravy, CA medley Veggies

3. Tuesday--FFY or Leftovers

4. Wednesday--Hot Dogs on Rolls, Beans, Potato Salad

This week will see 4 new meals cooked, 2 nights of leftovers, 1 night of Take-out/Eat-Out.

The only thing I need to buy to make these meals is maybe some salad greens.  But that won't keep me from going to the grocery store anyway. lolz
