The "The Boy Went Back" Edition ........
As a commenter mentioned, was it really only 4 short years ago that he looked like this? lolz
Yep, College Boy's Spring break is over and he's back at school now. The fortune teller in me sees my next water and electric bills will be WAY higher! lolz
Believe it or not, we have some leftovers from last week still and are back to Cooking/Eating for 2 again.
Here's what was planned last week.......
1. Leftover Pasta with meat sauce, Collards
2. Roasted Turkey Breast, Stuffing, Corn, Cranberry Glop
Everything went as planned except no Lasagna because of leftovers(and getting Chinese take-out one night). We got Chinese one night College Boy didn't eat dinner here when he had his traditional "Wing Night" outing with his buds.
Most nights College Boy ate dinner here but not at dinner time with us. His usual routine is to rise at 2-3 pm, eating something right before dinner time and then eating actual dinner when he comes home in the wee hours of the morning. So technically he ate dinner here but not at a normal dinner time.
Last week I made 3 trips to the grocery store, so I spent $61.18 OOP on $92.05 worth of reg. retail groceries. $17 of that $61.18 was for an ice cream cake to celebrate College Boy's birthday.
I had 2 transactions at Rite-Aid and spend $1.14 OOP on $69.63 worth of toiletries.
For the week, $62.32 total spending on $161.68 worth of products.
$114.94 spent of my $300 March food budget, leaving us $185.06 for the next 15 days of the month.
Leftovers going into this week are turkey breast, stuffing, collards, chicken/veggie stir-fry, corned beef and cabbage.
Here is the plan for this week.........
1. Lasagna, leftover Collards
2. Salmon, Broccoli

What I need to buy for this menu......carrots, rye bread, sauerkraut.
I am out of sour cream also and there is a special on salmon fillets this week so those will be picked up as well.
The sales ads are again pretty lackluster this week but I may go looking for bargains in the produce and meat departments anyway since I have so much left in my budget for this month.

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten that week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
