The "Not Interested in Cooking" Edition................
We are working on house stuff lately since we haven't needed the a/c for awhile, so meals haven't been very interesting....just easy and cheap.
Moving and going through crap just zaps my energy and eating is an afterthought.

Two trips to Weis($43.15), the Bread Outlet($4.00)and a trip to Malacari's($18.12)brought the weekly spending to $65.27 and my August total to $116.94.
My savings percentage last week was 42.70%(without Rite-Aid trips)and August's monthly savings total comes in at 44.75%(w/out R-A).
I have 19 more food shopping/spending days in August and $283.06 left in my $400 food budget for this month.

What needs buying for this menu? Corn. I've got half a cabbage(after making Cole Slaw last week)and some aging sweet potatoes and a zuke left(to tempura). Might need lettuce if there isn't enough left out in the garden. I might also buy a cantaloupe or broccoli since both are cheap this week.
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?

I would send you some corn but I am afraid it would turn out like those rosettes I sent only more stinky....
ReplyDeleteI have 8 boneless, skinless chicken breast ready to go in oven with one potato for me tonight. The crockpot will have potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery. That should last me for Tommy tomorrow and some for him to take home and enough for me to freeze and eat. Well, I will only freeze cooked chicken breasts. Then, there is slaw to make.
ReplyDeleteNo great deals. I will go to Farmer's Market tomorrow for maybe corn and tomatoes.
The box came. I am going to open it and see what there is to eat in it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI really like it when individuals get together and share ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat site, continue the good work!
of course like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of your
ReplyDeleteposts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the reality nevertheless I will definitely come
again again.
Fine way of telling, and pleasant article to obtain data regarding my presentation subject
ReplyDeletematter, which i am going to convey in school.
