I am a little late in getting this post out but last week I spent $67.16 for groceries because I had so much left over in the freezer from the week before. We did go out for dinner once and lunch after the Farmers market because we were exhausted from opening day.
Sunday dinner was sausage with peppers and onions
Monday was BLT sandwiches
Tuesday was crockpot pork steaks with chili sauce
Wednesday was flatbread pizzas
Thursday was easy goulash
Friday we ate out for dinner
and Saturday we ate lunch and dinner at 4:00 out and just picked the rest of the night
For the goulash I made last week: I call this easy goulash because I just used what I had on hand to make it. I didn’t have macaroni so I used rigatoni, I didn’t have an onion so I dug up a sprouting green onion from the garden that was coming up from last year and I only had a yellow bell pepper so I used that.
Chopped Green Onion
Chopped Yellow Sweet Pepper
I browned one pound of ground beef with the onions and the pepper
I added a tablespoon of paprika and chili powder and salt and pepper
In went a quart and a half of my home canned crushed tomatoes
I simmered all of this for a while. Maybe 1/2 an hour
Then I cooked the pasta and added it to the pan
After all of those flavors had time to meld I served, topped with parmesan cheese. Yum!
Total spent for groceries so far in June $215.16 out of $500
Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

One thought on “Week 24 – What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries”
What did we eat? It took me awhile to remember! I know we had sausage with potatoes and sauerkraut, corned beef with mashed potatoes and green beans; bacon, eggs and hash browns; bierocks, and tonight we are having Ruebens, then grilled hamburgers tomorrow.
