Last Week's Menu Postmortem...
No Chicken Parm(moves to this week)and no Apple Pie. Just been appled out lately and didn't even want to look at them, much less cook them.lol Hubby did another bang up job with cooking dinner on Sunday...it was salmon, buttercup squash and rice by the way.

SUNDAY--Date Night w/Hubby, teens will fend for themselves

Last week I spent $62.44 on food and toiletries(Not couting my Rite-Aid spending as I will have overage there after the rebates come in). I wasn't successful in staying out of the grocery store last week, as there was a Catalina Deal at 2 different stores.
These are my downfall.lol
Most of my spending was on the Cat Deals(except for $4 for a turkey for this week) and not on items I needed for my specific meal plan last week. I have very few items to pick up this week(celery, whipped cream and weekly milk purchases) and am allotting $10 for these. I do have $15 in Cats to spend by Wednesday at Acme so if they have decent prices on those items I'll actually spend less than $10. Besides the Acme trip, I refuse to set foot in a grocery store this week. And since it's Black Friday week I probably won't set foot in ANY store for the rest of the week!lol
Food Waste Report....the only spoiled food was 3 slices of bread that went moldy. All vegetable waste composted along with that bread.
Check out ORGANIZING JUNKIE to see what other Home Cooks are serving this week.
And here's hoping everyone has family and/or friends to keep close and celebrate their blessings with this Thanksgiving Holiday!
