At last check, we were at $130 last week. Over the weekend, we ordered pizza, adding $12. So…a grand total of $142 for the week. Our guests very graciously treated us to dinner and breakfast out. Thank you, Kevin & Trish!
I am thrilled with my grocery shopping this week. I’m doing a little happy dance right here on the lovely peacock couch (You can see it in my last post). Despite having to buy 80 dinner rolls for a pot luck meal at my husband’s university, I spent only $81 for our weekly grocery stop. I can’t really say how this happened. Yes, we did go to the pot luck, but I still spent $15 on dinner rolls which is more than I usually spend on a week-day dinner. I am planning a crustless quiche with Canadian bacon and colby, and on another night, we are having spaghetti with garden-style sauce. Both of those meals are inexpensive. Last week, I bought a big bag of potatoes on sale, so I’m using them in several side dishes this week. I guess small changes are making a difference.
We spent $5 on a quick snack stop bringing the week to only $86.
Week 1 + Week 2 + Week 3 = $352 so far
