I can’t believe I struggled the first week! Not that I didn’t have enough food to eat but the irresistible pull to just say screw it let’s go out to eat! That was tough! We did cheat a bit. We went out and had a quick burger and split a fry and drink for $20 but that’s it. I still call that a win though because it wasn’t $60-$70.
We had a ton of lasagna rolls left over so we ate those all weekend and I made stuffed chicken breasts on Thursday so we ate that a couple of times. We also ate a lot of cereal and last night I made myself salmon, brussel sprouts and rice. The hubs sometimes won’t eat dinner because he eats lunch late.
In the using up creatively department I had leftover raspberry cake filling that I didn’t want to go to waste so I added some of the frozen tripleberry mix I had in the freezer to it and had a tripleberry crumb pie and boy was that delish!
In the groceries department we only bought 3 items some vanilla cream for $6.49, a bag of shredded cheese for $2.29 and 2 bags of local apples for $18 totaling $26.78. That leaves us $81.54 left.
I am planning simple meals this week. Hubby golfs on Tuesday nights so he won’t be home to eat and my hairdresser moved me to 7:00 tonight so it’s probably going to be a macaroni and peas night lol!
What are you eating lately? Anything interesting?
I’ll report back again soon!
