Last week saw 3 nights of home cooked dinners, 3nights of leftovers/FFY/TV Dinners, 1 night of no dinner and 0 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out.
Hubs finished the taco meat for a lunch so that wasn't available for Tuesday's dinner. Plus the Butternut Ravioli didn't happen so it moves to this week.
What got put into the freezer last week....
* a bag of burritos
* 1 pack of hot dogs
What got taken out of the freezer and used...
* 1/2 huge bag of Broccoli
* 2 Pork Tenderloin slices
* 1 box of Brussels Sprouts
We spent $85.62 last week(lots of small trips to Weis, Aldi, Walmart, Malacari's produce, the Bread Outlet and Dollar General)bringing our food/toiletries/HBA/paper goods Grand Total to $85.62 for December so far.
There are 24 shopping days left in December.
I've earned $32.54 on Ibotta in December.

Leftovers going into this week.....Turkey Divan, Stuffing and 1/2 a carton of Chicken Stock. Hubs will take care of the first two items for lunches.

What needs buying for this menu? Nothing for a change.
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 was SO sick of leftovers that I cleaned out our fridge last night. Threw away a bagfull of misc stuff that was rotting... and a ton of jars of things that I had intended to use, like whey... And the fridge still looks jam packed. sigh. BUT I was so sick of "old" food that I splurged $15(I think) for half gallon of Buono Italian Beef at Aldi. Oh yum!!!! That with a jar of leftover jalopenos is the perfect lunch...
ReplyDeleteI stayed on plan for my meal plan. And for this week, turkey chili, sausage and potatoes, salad, oatmeal and eggs. Keeping it simple.
ReplyDeleteBut my question is did you buy any onions?
ReplyDeleteI believe I bought some the week before last since there is no gleaning them off the side of the road out East. 8-)
DeleteMy phone just switched back to Google as the only option so we’ll see if this works. I’m not giving up the old iPhone 6 until it really dies!
ReplyDeleteLasagna and potato leek soup will take care of most of the week. Maybe chik’n and dumplings on Friday? If not, everyone here is familiar with make a sandwich night.

I did not stay on my meal plan and do not care one way or another that I didn't. I aim in the process of staging a revolution against the kitchen/house/clutter/falling chandeliers/and anything else I find revolting. Pissy is my middle name right now!
ReplyDeleteThe theme for last week was simple and we stayed on track for the most part. This week we are having enchiladas, smoked sausage potato bake, breakfast for dinner, pizza rolls and not sure what else. LOL Oh and I love your Charlie Brown tree. We actually have one that Bill used to use when he worked at the newspaper. This year I put it in our downstairs bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI love the tree! No plan, so I am following it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWe went off my semi plan a few times, but people were fed. Good enough.
