Meals for the Week:
Tuna Salad
Spaghetti with meatballs (I made and froze the meatballs months ago, thawed them out to go with dinner.)
Pizza made with Husband's spaghetti sauce
Vegetable Stir fry made with veggies that were in the "Please Take" box at work.
Vegetable soup - made with veggies that I didn't use in the stir fry.
A freezer meal I made several months ago. This one was Italian Chicken.
Target, $15.04
Tomato products were on sale this week, so I picked up 3 cans.
The enchilada sauce and green chiles were on the clearance rack. I see enchiladas in the very near future!
Daughter's slightly addicted to the Starbucks Refreshers, so I grabbed 2 boxes for her. :)
Dinner Out: $25
This week, we celebrated our 25th anniversary and my 50th birthday. Husband and I went out for dinner for our anniversary!
Lunch at Work: $5 (rounded up)
My office provided lunch for us as part of a mandatory training this week. Since the lunch was from a local sandwich shop, and I'm gluten free, I had to pick up my own lunch. I picked up a pack of blackberries, and a bag of apple slices. I brought yogurt and peanut butter from home. Peanut butter on apple slices, and yogurt with blackberries! Mmmmm.....
South Mountain Creamery: $14.59
Eggs, yogurt, and Goat's Milk for this mostly lactose intolerant family.
Total for the Week: $59.63
Not too shabby!
Now, for the fun part:
My goal is to spend $150/week on groceries.
If I take the totals for every week this month, I come up with $116/month.
That's actually below my goal of $150/week.... so I really am averaging out well under that. It helps that I am able to take advantage of sales, and have a big freezer that can hold meats and prepared meals.
