The "Goofy Dog" Edition--
This is Chester's Summer bed. He has torn 3 holes in it and has pulled every last bit of stuffing out of it. He seems to prefers it flat like a blanket because he still uses it as a bed.
Then he began ripping the fabric apart so much so that it's more hole than fabric now. lolz
This is Chester getting inside the bed to hunt for more stuffing I am assuming......
A little while later he decided to go inside it again..........
and he got most of his body inside it(you can still see a foot).......
Luckily it is lightweight fabric and I was right there when he began panicking because he couldn't extricate himself this time. lololz
After that time, he hasn't attempted it again. ;-)
Moving On....

3. Tuesday--Leftovers
4. Wednesday--Cuke/Tomato Salad, Lobster Cakes, Leftover Fried Zuke(again!)
5. Thursday--Fend For Yourself
6. Friday--Leftovers(I had a BLT)

7. Saturday--Pasta w/Meat Sauce, Salad, Bread
Last week saw 4 nights of home cooked dinners, 3 nights of leftovers/fend for yourself, 0 nights of Take-Out or Eating Out.
The chicken and dumplings didn't happen again(it's too hot for it!)so it comes off the schedule for the time being until things cool off here. Friday it was too wet and muggy to grill out anything..heck, it's been too rainy and muggy most days to stand out there and grill. The quiche didn't happen because I didn't get the half and half and we had too many leftovers in the fridge already to eat down.
Three trips, two to Weis and one the Shursave Markets brought the weekly food spending to $100.96 and the monthly total to $186.39.(I forgot to add in the Bread Outlet trip when I was adding my tracking book up and I don't want to have to redo it, so that goes on this coming week's tally.)
I have 11 days left in my shopping month for August and have $213.61($203.11 after adding the Bread store trip in)left in the food budget to spend this month.

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?

Sounds delicious, Sluggy. My daughter loves Chinese food and could eat it everyday. Poor Chester, panicking at getting stuck inside his bed. Our cats will make a bed out of anything we put on the porch. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour shopping inspires me. I too will have to learn to find bargains soon.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs do the same thing! At the extended stay hotel we are in for another 6 weeks, we had few extra baskets we stacked at the end of the bed with our dirty clothes. Well, the dogs decided they liked these baskets as much as any dog bed. So, we threw away the torn up one at retirement home and put a small pillow in a pillowcase in the bottom and problem solved! We shall see if they try to tear up that pillow. lol.
Chester gets his DNA from Dan?
ReplyDeleteHi everyone, it's my first pay a visit at this website, and post is really fruitful for me, keep up posting such posts.
ReplyDeleteNo plans as I am trapped at home arguing with insurance. It really does not matter what is on sale, because I cannot get there!
ReplyDeleteSilly dog. Our dog does some silly things also. We have been eating lots of tomato and pepper based meals. Using up the garden veggies. I haven't gotten one zucchini yet.
ReplyDeleteI hope the dog does not discover there is stuffing in the sofa. My friend's dog's ball rolled under the sofa. The dog wanted the ball and ate it's way through the sofa. He got the ball but ate cushions part of sofa to the floor and ripped out springs. But, the determined black lab got his ball.
ReplyDeleteOh Chester is such a silly boy :) At least he is amusing himself...and you!
