Sadly no pictures again this week. I was rushing to get the groceries put away and lunch ready as it was 2:30 pm when I got home. I guess we will start with the shopping totals. I took the money left from last week and put it toward my garden seed bill so I was starting back over with my two week total of $100. I admit that one of my purchases was not grocery related. I was in the Dollar Tree looking for a new sugar container and found a plastic canvas book. I took the money for it out of the grocery budget, but since it was just a dollar (+ tax) let's all agree to let it slide.
My total at the Dollar Tree was $4.31. In addition to the book, I bought steak sauce and two pairs of gloves for washing dishes. The gloves are for washing dishes which is sort of grocery related.
Next stop was Save-a-Lot. I got tortilla chips, tortillas, salsa, lemons, and milk. I seriously need to work on making my own tortillas. I know they will be healthier. That might be a February to-do. My total there was $12.82.
Finally I went to Harvey's. I am heading back next week when I get a few coupons together to do a deal. Since I was already in town I decided to pick up a few things. I purchased chips, Keebler Pecan Sandies (a treat for a recovering DH), steak sauce (with a coupon to compare to the off brand), soup (restocking my "sick shelf"), mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, avocados, and cheese. My total for this trip was $23.87.
I have $59 left for next week. I will use some of it to do a deal at Harvey's, but I might be able to avoid shopping again for the most part.
Menu
Crab egg salad - We have plenty of eggs thanks to our chickens, but I do not care for plain egg salad. I mix in a can of crab meat to make it yummy and still affordable. We always get two meals out of this.
Bacon, tomatoes & rice, butterbeans - The bacon, rice, and butterbeans were from the freezer. The tomatoes were home canned.
Shrimp, fries, slaw - I will use a cabbage from the garden to make slaw.
Steak, twice baked potatoes, salad - The steaks and twice baked potatoes are from the freezer. The salad is from the greenhouse. I will add in some mushrooms and tomatoes from my shopping trip.
Pizza & salad - I have a bunch of lettuce from the greenhouse so we will be eating salad quite often.
Black bean enchiladas - I found one more container of black beans in the freezer so I want to use them before they get lost again.
Sandwiches - Weekends are always a questions. We have a variety of sandwich options including tuna, barbecue, turkey, PB&J.
