Again, I got a lot stitched in the last three weeks. I hope to finish the underleaf, the rest of the section of rose and there is a huge leaf that needs to be stitched to the left of everything and I want to get that done. That may be a tall order with holidaysContinue reading “SAL-Project Joyce’s Rose #5”

What We Have Been Eating Lately
Food costs have been insanely expensive but last week I caught an amazing sale! When sales are offered that are that good it’s time to stock up. One piece of advice is don’t be afraid to pre-order sale items especially meat. When I saw the sale ad I called and ordered 20 lbs of bonelessContinue reading “What We Have Been Eating Lately”

Week 32-36 What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries
Happy September 1st! Time for the August grocery shopping update. I budgeted $400 for groceries this month because there were five weeks in August. Total spent on groceries for August $438.39 that’s $38.39 over budget.

Week 29-31 What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries
I feel so much better about how much money we spent on food this month. I really tried not to buy any more than what I bought in my regular grocery shopping trips on Sundays. We did go out a couple of times this month which I am fine with. Twice in one month isContinue reading “Week 29-31 What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries”
Week 28 What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries
Last week I spent $52.64 at the grocery store because I had so much left over from the week before. We ate pretty well considering none of us ever have the same schedule. The cherry cobbler I made is really easy and can be used for any summer fruit. Here’s the recipe: Sour Cherry CobblerContinue reading “Week 28 What We Ate and How Much We Spent on Groceries”
