This Week on the Dining Table

The "You Don't Fool with Mother Nature!" Edition--

This is what we woke up to this morning......4 inches of snow and it's still coming down.
W.T.F.?!?!
It seems Mother Nature pulled an April Fool's joke on us by having it snow on the day after April Fool's Day.
It was 50+F yesterday. 8-0

Chester was mightily confused this morning.  He looked at me and I swear I heard him say, "Where did all my grass go?!" lolz

Moving On....

Onward to the meal planning!

1. Sunday--Reuben Sandwiches(using leftover corned beef)and any leftover carrots/cabbage mix

3. Tuesday--Ravioli in Parmesan Cream Sauce, Salad

Last week saw 4 nights of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/fend for yourself, 1 night of take-out and 0 nights of Eating out.  I finally went to the Dr. for my fall and wasn't feeling like cooking much still last week.  Hubs cooked on Monday night.
Hubs and I finally had our lunch out this week when we went to Target on Wednesday(postponed from last week).

1 trip to Weis(mostly for the free ham), a few items from Shursave Markets and a free trip to Target brought the shopping to $28.24.  But I forgot the $4 Bread Outlet trip the week before and a small shop at Big Lots so with all, the week ended up at $46.49 and brought March's food spending total to $401.62.  

I never made it to the restaurant supply store last week but it's a new month so it will happen in April.  I'll be hitting Weis Markets hard this week(after the snow melts)before the current ad ends.

My savings percentages last week was 73.18%(a free ham at Weis and free groceries at Target will do that for a % percentage! lol) and March's monthly savings total ended up at 72.33%(55.61% w/out R-A).

Leftovers going into this week.......taco filling.  With me not cooking much and us eating most of the leftovers, there isn't much to use up this past week.  We needed the room in the fridge for Easter foodstuffs(and 6 dozen cheap eggs from Target!)plus Hubs and I will be out of town for a few days this week so there isn't much of a food plan this week, at least not one that generates leftovers.

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

1. Sunday--Ham, Deviled Eggs, Mac and Cheese, Rolls, Cauliflower/Broccoli mix

2. Monday--Hot Dogs, Beans, leftover Deviled Eggs

3. Tuesday--Spaghetti and Meatballs, Salad

4. Wednesday--Fend for Yourself/Easter Leftovers

5. Thursday--Eating-Out(Hubs birthday)

6. Friday--Fend for Yourself/Easter Leftovers

7. Saturday--No Clue Yet

This week will see 3 new meals cooked, 2 nights of leftovers/FFY and 1-2 nights of Take-out/Eat-Out.
I don't know if Eldest son will cook or take us out for dinner while we are down at his place(other than Thursday night which is Hub's birthday and we are going out for dinner).
I've got hot dogs, beans, meatballs, pasta and sauce here so I'll pick up salad fixings when I go out to Weis today/tomorrow to get this week's deals before we leave town.  The kids will be fine with all the leftover Easter dinner items too.

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?
