Project: Food Budget {Week 48}

Hi. The piggie is back…yay! This week we spent $38 on one shopping trip, $12 on dinner at church, and $68 on a second grocery trip. That’s $118 for the week. Not bad. I don’t know why I haven’t been able to pull myself back to the 100 dollar mark since we got back from our trip. I definitely think it is an organizational issue. I’m deciding to give myself some breathing room because we’ve added a few new concepts to our food planning. First, I am being more intentional about snacks. Snacking had been sort of willy-nilly, and I’m trying to have snacks planned mostly for the kids but also for the hubby and me. I, too often, grab a spoonful of peanut butter. Nutritionally, that’s a pretty good choice, but we never have clean spoons! Ha ha. Additionally, I am now making sure my husband has a good breakfast in the moring, and I am making him a lunch to take to work. I wasn’t really in the habit (God bless my mom who has made my dad a lunch every workday for FORTY years! And you know what, he has had the same lunch box the whole time. Amazing.), but in an overall re-thinking of our families eating habits, I knew that I needed to make him a good lunch as a very tangible way of showing my love and support. He does so much for our family; the least I can do is pack him a sandwich. Here is how our week looks:

Monday: Turkey burgers with green beans

Tuesday: Breakfast for dinner (because I delayed shopping, and we always have breakfast stuff in the house)

Wednesday: dinner at church

Thursday: Meatball sandwiches with tossed salad

Friday: Bratwurst with red cabbage and apples (sounds weird, tastes good…I’ll share the recipe soon.)

Saturday: Ah! Not sure.

Sunday: Roast in the Crock Pot with red potatoes and carrots
