This Week on the Dining Table

It's the "The Kid is Gone" Edition--

 

College Boy left on Sunday.  He's in the marching band at college so he goes back a week earlier than most due to Band Camp.  I think he is glad to be back if only because it means he doesn't have to wash dishes in the restaurant he slaved worked at this Summer. 
I am glad too that I don't have to be quiet until 2pm each day so he could sleep.  Plus I never knew each morning when I got up whether we had overnight guests in the house and my kitchen was a mess from late night cooking sessions. lolz

Onward to the meal planning!

 

Here's what was planned last week.......
 

1. Sunday--Subway sandwiches(still not feeling well enough to cook)
2. Monday--Rotisserie Chicken, Veggies, Corn Casserole
3. Tuesday--Lasagna, Salad, Bread
4. Wednesday--Pizza and/or Wings at local place(I have a freebie Q)
5. Thursday--Burgers or leftovers
6. Friday--Various Seafood items in freezer, Veggies TBD
7. Saturday--Leftovers

 

And this is what actually happened--

1. Sunday--Subway sandwiches(still not feeling well enough to cook)
2. Monday--Rotisserie Chicken, Corn Casserole
3. Tuesday--Lasagna, Salad, Bread
4. Wednesday--BBQ Pork Sandwiches with Cole Slaw

As for my grocery spending last week.....Maine Source, Sam's Club and 2 small trips to Weis that cost me $188.21 OOP(I also used the $20 Weis gift card.)
August food spending now stands at $297.86.  I have a paltry $52.14 left in the budget this month and August is barely half over!
meh.
I'm going to try to eat from food stores we have in the house for the rest of August.
Easier said than done!

Leftovers going into this week--rotisserie chicken pieces, barbecue pork and cole slaw.
 

Here is this week's food plan--

1. Sunday--Eating Out(after lugging CB back to school)
2. Monday--Pork Chops w/Peach Glaze(have), Squash Casserole(have)
3. Tuesday--Various seafood(in freezer), Fried Zucchini(have)
4. Wednesday--Barbecue(leftovers)on rolls, Cole Slaw(have)
5. Thursday--Chicken Marsala(have), Tom and Cuke Salad(have)
6. Friday--Steaks(have), Corn on cob or leftover Squash
7. Saturday--Kielbasa or Meatballs on rolls(have), Beans(have)

What I need to buy for this menu?.....corn....unless I have leftover squash then I don't need corn.  That's it.
I might change up one of these meals for BLTs depending on the weather.  I have a partial head of iceberg lettuce I need to use up but this change would involve buying tomatoes this week....unless I want to use OUR tomatoes and make the sandwiches micro-BLTs. lolz

 

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 that week?

Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
