This Week on the Dining Table

The "Enjoying the Last of the Morning Glories" Edition--

Fairly soon my flowers here will be history for another year.  Between the weather turning colder(not yet)and both of the dogs eating the vines they can get to(yes they are EATING the vines lolz)I haven't got much longer to enjoy these beauties.

Moving On....

7. Saturday--Chili and Cornbread

Last week saw 4-5 nights of home cooked dinners, 1-2 night of leftovers/fend for yourself/tv dinners, 1 night of Take-Out or Eating Out.  
I didn't buy any lobster last week because I found other clearance/pantry deals to use up the rest of the monthly grocery budget including some discount meats(sausages, fryer chicken).  We also didn't make a pizza either.
Maybe I'll get some lobster this week if I want to splurge out but haven't checked the PC ad yet to see if they are still on sale.

Trips to Weis, the Shursave Market, Walmart, Target and the Farm stand brought the weekly food spending to $110.63 and the monthly total to $398.20.
I have 0 days left in my shopping month for August and have $1.80 left in the food budget that I didn't spend. 

My savings percentage last week was 59.62%(without Rite-Aid trips)and August's monthly savings grand total came to 58.50%.

Leftovers going into this week......chili, cornbread, squash and onions, small piece of London Broil.

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

1. Sunday--Fish, Coleslaw, French Fries

2. Monday--Steak, Corn, Deviled Eggs

3. Tuesday--Chicken Fajitas

4. Wednesday--Spaghetti and Meatballs(freezer), Salad, Garlic Bread

5. Thursday--Leftovers

6. Friday--BLTs
7. Saturday--Eggplant in Hoisin Sauce, Rice

This week will see 6 new meals cooked, 1 night of leftovers/FFY, 0 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out.
Maybe one less new meal if we have enough leftovers for 2 nights.  Not sure since Hubs often eats leftovers for lunch(he doesn't care for cold sandwiches).

What needs buying for this menu? Steaks, Corn, Mushrooms, Salad Greens, Milk
