This Week on the Dining Table

The "There Will Be NO Shopping Until Further Notice" Edition....

This is just the first "dusting" of snow we have gottten here at Chez Sluggy.
It's snowed off and on since Sunday and this is suppose to continue until late Tuesday.  We are in the small area that is predicted to receive 18+ inches so yay for that. lol  Obviously there will be no grocery or drugstore shopping until we dig out in mid February.  Kidding, we should be able to drive by Thursday.
Are you suppose to get a good amount of snow where you are?

Onward to the meal planning!

Last week saw 4 night of home cooked dinners, 2 nights of leftovers/planned overs or no dinner, FFY, and 0 nights of Take-Out/Eating Out(but 1 lunch out).

We pretty much followed the plan. Go. Us.

I forgot I had a free birthday burger from Red Robin so we had to go out for lunch on Saturday(ahead of the big storm)to use that chit before it expired.  They served us each two side salads with the meal(don't know why)so we were too full for dinner on Saturday.  I think Hubs ate something small that night and I just had a cup of hot tea.

What got put into the freezer last week....

* 6 lbs. of frozen veggies

* 3 lbs. of BSC Breasts

* 1 bag of French fries

* 1 bag of mixed root veggie fries

What got taken out of the freezer and used...

*  Salmon fillets

* 1/3 bag of Brussels Sprouts

*  a bag of barbecued/smoked pork

*  3/4 lb. Chicken Tenders(used most for the Fajitas but a little to make Chicken Salad for 2 lunch sandwiches)

We spent $90.97 on food/toiletries/HBA/paper goods last week.  $61.76 at Walmart, $1.69 at Weis, and $27.52 at the Discount Grocery Outlet. This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Grand Total to $295.22 for January.

There are 0 shopping days left in January.  Onward to the 28 shopping days in February(which because of the storm will be more like 24 shopping days. 8-)

My savings percentage for last week was 55.54%(without "regular" Rite-Aid trips)for January and the monthly savings total for January comes in at 62.03%.(w/out R-A). That's a really high savings rate even for me. 8-)

Leftovers going into this week--taco filling, cole slaw, 3 manicotti, garlic bread, bbq enough for 2 sandwiches, fajita filling for 1.  No food waste again last week.  But few leftovers means lots of cooking this week.

What needs buying for this menu?  Well can't get to the store so I hope everything needed is here. lol If not, the plan will need to adjust/change.  A big snowstorm is one way to keep me from buying more groceries, right? ;-)

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?  Not such great deals here unless I go to the discount food outlet.
