This Week on the Dining Table

The "You Know You're in the South" Edition--

You know you are in a restaurant in the South when hot sauce and peppers in vinegar sauce are on your table when you sit down.  My daughter worked at a Cracker Barrel in PA for a bit and there, you had to ask for these items.  I have yet to go in a Cracker Barrel down here so I wonder if it's being up North or if it's just a CB policy.

Onward to the meal planning!

This is what was planned.......

1. Sunday--Chicken Parm, Yellow Squash

2. Monday--Beef Pie

3. Tuesday--Riced Cauliflower, other Veggies and Beef Stir-fry

4. Wednesday--Trivia night at different place so no clue

5. Thursday--Applebee's Salad(late lunch)

6.  Friday--Tempura Shrimp and Zuke, Spinach Soufflé, maybe Cole Slaw

7. Saturday--Chicken in Peanut Sauce, Noodles and Veggies

And here's what actually happened........

1. Sunday--Chicken Parm, Yellow Squash

2. Monday--Trivia, I had green beans and unsweet tea

3. Tuesday--Hubs made Beef Pie(I didn't eat)

4. Wednesday--Trivia night at different place

5. Thursday--Nothing for me

6.  Friday--Nothing for me but a yogurt in the a.m.

7. Saturday--a late Lunch at Applebee's(I had a salad)

Lots didn't happen as I've been having a gastrointestinal issue all week.  Hubs had to fend for himself.

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

*  Not a damned thing

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

*  1 lb. Ground Beef

*  1 container of Chicken Parm

Last week we spent $85.97 on grocery shopping

This brings our food/toiletries/paper goods Total to $150.73 for May.  

There are 16 shopping days left in May.

I've earned $59.06 on Ibotta in May.

I've earned 1,205 points from food shopping on Fetch in May.

That's $74.56 in rebates(not counting the Shop Kick/Swag Bucks/Fetch)on $150.73 of grocery spending so in reality it's $76.17 in food spending after the 5 rebate apps I count.

My savings percentage for the last week was 50.11% and the monthly savings total for May comes in at 47.41% so far. 

Leftovers going into this week...beef pie.

What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu?  Not a damned thing again.  I am in "use it up" in the fridge mode this coming week.

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 deals on food at your stores this week?

Rabbit Hole

 I've gone down a rabbit hole on Youtube.  This guy, guitaro5000, stands around NYC and invites people to sing while he plays guitar accompaniment. 

Here's one of my favorites........

I'll Be AFK For Awhile

I feel blogging is pointless at the moment so don't expect to come here and read any scintillating content, if anyone other than a very few still read this crap.

I will keep this blog open so certain people can get to other blogs through my blog roll(yes, I'm looking at you Sissie!).

Sluggy who doesn't think it will ever stop raining(I'd rather have snow)
