The "Well That Was Weird" Edition................
Remember all that baby food I bought at Weis(PMITA)Markets last week?
The Gerber stuff(6 blue packages on the right and 4 glass jars w/green lids in the middle)was bought on Feb. 26th.
On Friday, Feb. 28th, when I went to get the Weis freebie item(a can of OJ concentrate)this printed out on the Catalina machine.........
$1 Cat for buying Gerber products. A TWO DAY lag between purchase and getting a Catalina for that purchase? lol I've never had that happen before(Catalinas are suppose to print out with the purchase!). Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Not that I'm complaining....I'll gladly take $1 in free stuff but it was just strange.

Last week saw 3 nights of home cooked dinners, 3 nights of leftovers/FFY or TV dinners, and 1 night of Eating Out/Take-Out.
The Chicken Parm and Pork Teriyaki didn't happen, leaving the only planned meal that did happen being the Stuffed Shells and the frozen Chinese dinners. Both of those meals move to this week. I got a package of thin cut steaks on instant discount last week so we had Cheese Steak sammies as a meal instead for one of those that didn't happen. We also had lots of leftovers for Hubs on those nights I didn't feel like eating/cooking so it's all good.

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?
Do you just donate the baby food right off? I was curious when I saw that and didn't ask before. With the college kid home, I'm making some of their favorites-curry, spaghetti, ravioli, ribs and baby potatoes. We also plan on taking her out for fish-she loves a good fish fry.
ReplyDeleteI love a good fish fry too....especially if it's walleye. nomnomnom
Delete16 oz. strawberries for $1.29
ReplyDeleteGood price for strawberries at this time of year especially!
DeleteWe are getting back on track with family dinners. So far, I have had enough in the freezer and pantry to cover my dinners. There was a week of everyone fend for yourself. Who knows what everyone ate? As sick as I was, I didn't care. :-)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I was sick earlier in Feb....who cares what everyone ate?! lol They are grown ups, let them figure out what to shove in their pie holes. lolz
DeleteWe are doing artichoke chicken, shrimp tacos, tilapia, hamburgers, pork chops, and breakfast for dinner one night.

I'm planning on Breakfast for dinner one night and I don't think I've ever had a shrimp taco before come to think of it.
DeleteI’m calling this one an easy week. Made a never ending bowl of pasta salad yesterday that should last all week. Lentil soup from the freezer is thawing and I’ll make several flat bread pizzas. Also have a giant bowl of tofu egg salad and spinach tortillas for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteEnd of the week will be make a sandwich night if we run out of stuff.

You need to share your pasta salad recipe sometime.
DeleteI'll pass on the tofu egg salad tho. ;-)
It’s pretty simple. Chop a red bell pepper, half a red onion, English cucumber, can of artichokes, bunch of green onions. Marinate that stuff in about a half a bottle of Italian dressing. Add the cooked pasta about an hour later and stir in a few spoonfuls of Veganaise (or mayonnaise).
DeleteThis one also included sautéed tofu cubes but sometimes I add black beans or chickpeas. Tofu is really good if prepared correctly! 😁

Fingers crossed you are saving the baby food for a potential grand?
ReplyDeleteNah, no babies on the horizon here. I got it for the food bank.
