What needs buying for this menu? Salad fixings and carrots. Not much but I'll make a run to Weis/Walmart this week(gotta work on those Ibotta Bonuses), hopefully sooner rather than later. ;-)
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 have a Mastiff. They are not chewers, or, at least, this one isn't, so that would go to waste on him. I have had Labrador Retrievers who could make fast work of that, though. I will never have a dog again. Easy as the Mastiff is, g I have grown to despise having dogs. I don't like anything about them anymore.
ReplyDeleteWe have a medium sized mixed breed dog and he loves to chew rawhide sticks, it would take a while but he would sure work on that giant stick
ReplyDeleteYour savings are amazing. I’ve done almost zero couponing in 2020- maybe I’ll bet back to it in 2021
Daryl the dog would drag that thing around the yard despite his size. He’s small but mighty!
ReplyDeleteI’m experimenting with a vegan fettuccine Alfredo today. The sauce looks good and I’m adding zucchini, tomatoes and some fake chicken strips.
Pot pie and who knows for the rest of the week.

I never really go off plan, because my plan is food. I saw a whole rack of the candy cane dog bones and did a double take. I almost ran the electric cart into people!
ReplyDeleteMeal plan for this week is pretty basic. I do have a nice chuck roast to make for Christmas. This week is basically chicken sausages, sweet potatoes, quinoa, salad and Brussel sprouts. Speaking of food, time to put the sweet potatoes in the oven to roast.
