Grocery Spending/Menu Plan (with multiple photographers!)
I had a little help this week with the job of photographing the groceries.
Lisey has a real camera, while Sonia has a toy one.
Zoe prefers to shoot using a pair of binoculars (backwards). "Mommy, is dis a camra?", she asked.
I said, "No, but you can certainly use it as one."
And so she did.
Sonia is into taking closeups, apparently.
Oh, and I did remember to actually take a picture of the groceries. Here you go.
Joshua got his camera out at the last minute too, but somehow he escaped being caught on MY camera. 😉
I spent $33.25 at Weis, and $57.96 at Aldi, for a total of $91.21, almost $8 under budget.
Here's what we're eating for dinner this week:
Saturday
- Thin-Crust Pizza
- green salad
Sunday
- We're having a potluck lunch at church, and then some snacky stuff for dinner
Monday
- Fajitas made with grilled chicken, shrimp, peppers, and onions
- fruit salad
Tuesday
- Grilled Hamburgers
- homemade buns
- Zucchini Patties
Wednesday
- Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
- Basic Dinner Rolls
- green salad
Thursday
- Ham and Mushroom Panini sandwiches (bumped from last week)
- fruit salad
Friday
- BBQ chicken pieces (using up some drumsticks from the freezer)
- green salad
- some kind of bread that I will decide upon later 😉
Oh my gosh - they are adorable! I was just showing my 10-yr. old the pictures. I think we both want to take pictures of our groceries - you make it look so fun! I have such a long way to go though before I could post a $100 grocery expedition......I am not sure how you manage such a feat.
Great pictures, you have such photogenic children. My son is 2 1/2 and loves helping me in the kitchen, the binoculars thing is something he would do too.
Could you show your recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup please? Thanks for a great blog.
I'm actually trying a new recipe...if I end up liking it, I'll post it in the future, though.
OH MY WORD!! They are cute!! I love how involved they are!! Were they always this involved and you just didn't show it?
Fruits and Veggies Rock!!
Your children are darling! Thank you for posting their pix with the groceries. My dh and I just loved it!
I like to make Oven Fried Chicken with my drumsticks, do you have a recipe? It's the only way we eat fried chicken.
hoping you post your panini sandwich method. would love to hear more about it.
You have beautiful children. Thanks for sharing.
Love the pics of the girls! Lisey looks SO much like you! Just adorable!
Dont you just love Aldi? I have one here in my hometown and that is where I do the majority of my shopping. I only make one stop at my local grocer for some fresh meat and we are good. I do have a question what do you guys do for lunch, leftovers? I see your posts about breakfast and dinner but I am kind of new to your blog and have not seen anything about lunch. Thanks!
