What I Spent
I spent $166 on groceries this week. So, a little over budget, but not by much!
What We Ate
Monday
I was planning to cook some tortellini, but discovered they were moldy. That’s never happened to me before. Apparently I grabbed a package of tortellini that was too close to the expiration date.
So we had bacon and French toast with fresh mango on the side.
Breakfast for dinner is such a good backup plan.
Tuesday
We had dinner at my brother’s house, and we got to meet his new puppy. Which made Zoe very very happy.
Wednesday
Burgers! I had a fried egg on top of mine, which sounds weird at first but is actually very tasty.
Assuming you like eggs, of course.
Thursday
It was a nutso day, and I had to run some errands around dinnertime…so we hit up Chick Fil A.
Friday
Well…Sonia and Zoe and I are about to leave on a road trip to visit some very good friends in Ohio for the weekend, so we are going to be eating there tonight! WE ARE SO EXCITED.

I live in New Zealand and eggs on burgers is pretty common, usually accompanied by a bit of beetroot and cheese! Delicious.

I’ve loved reading for years, but now I’ve finally decided to join the comment crew! Monday: my sister was visiting from out of town, and it was her birthday, so my husband picked up a BBQ sampler and we ate cake (Nothing Bundt Cake had a BOGO free so we used that). Tuesday: leftovers galore! I had a sweet potato with leftover pulled pork and my husband ate a smoked chicken thigh and sides. Wednesday: Korean pork chops, sesame noodles, and slaw. Thursday: Ladies night out! I packed up the baby and met girlfriends at the Cheesecake Factory. Not financially inexpensive, but rich in fellowship so totally worth it. Friday: chicken pesto pasta (using basil from my herb box). Saturday: My sister-in-law is coming over for craft night, so I’m going to put together a cheeseboard. I imagine she’ll bring dessert. Two girls’ nights in one week have got me feeling spoiled!
