This Week on the Dining Table

 The "I Wish I Wasn't Here" Edition...

It's cold as F*^k here!  It was 80F and sunny back in December 2021 in the Virgin Islands.  That larger boat was the one we took there.  Maybe we can move there or go stay for a month or two if we can find someone to watch the dogs for us and not charge us an arm and a leg. ;-)

How about you take our dogs for awhile Kim.  With all the animals and grandkids running around there you'd never even notice them. hehehe

1. Sunday--I didn't eat(see above), don't know what Hubs had

I spent $29.99 on food/toiletries/HBA the last week. This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $29.00 for February.  

There are 21 shopping days left in February.  

I've earned $51.12 on Ibotta in February.

I've earned $10.13 on Checkout51 in February.

I've earned $5.00 on Coupons dotcom/Paypal in February.

I've earned 258 points($.25) from shopping on Fetch in February.

I earned 150 Kicks($.60)from food shopping on Shop Kick in February. 

I've earned 942SB($9.42) from food shopping on Swag Bucks in February.

I've earned $0 from food shopping on Tada in February.

That's $67.75 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Tada/Fetch)on $29.00 in grocery spending so in reality it's -$38.75 spent after the 3 rebate apps I count(plus a $1.50 rebate sent to my Paypal account).

Leftovers going into this week.....Chicken and Dumplings, 1 helping each of Fish, Cole Slaw, Sweet Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts

Here is this week's "food plan".....

1. Sunday--Bought a bucket of KFC while out

2. Monday--Leftover KFC

3. Tuesday--Chicken Marsala w/Mushrooms, Veggie TBD, Mashed Potatoes

4. Wednesday--Leftovers or Copycat Bob Evans Salad
5. Thursday--Butternut Squash Ravioli w/Béchamel, Salad

6.  Friday--Homemade flatbread Pizza, Veggie TBD

7. Saturday--Leftovers

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?  Nothing.  I've got everything I just have to dig some chicken breast out of the freezer for the Marsala.  I'll save some chicken from the KFC bucket to top my Bob Evans copycat salad.  I made Colonial dressing last week to use on that.

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?
