Menu and grocery spending
The cow we get our milk from is going to have a calf soon, so there will be no more milk from the farm for a few months now. And I didn't make it to the farmer's market either, so the only spending I did was at Weis. I was hoping for a really low week this week, but I spent $78(I try to spend between $80 and $100 a week). So, I'm only $2 into making a dent into last week's over spending. Oh well...I'm hoping to have a nice lean week next week. 🙂
Here's what I'm making with my $78 groceries.
Saturday
- we're having sort of a use-up-food night....I have some leftovers, and I also have some meat for steak sandwiches that I need to use. So, steak subs, leftovers, green beans, and corn are what we'll be eating.
Sunday
- Pancakes(I have an overload of buttermilk at the moment)
- Orange Juice
Monday
- Fried Squash
- Grapes
- Green salad
Tuesday
- Shrimp salad sandwiches on buns
- orange slices
- steamed green beans
Wednesday
- Aussie Chicken
- Red Grapes
Thursday
- Chicken and Shrimp Tikka Masala
- Peaches
Friday
- Grilled Pizza(I know I had this on the menu very recently, but it got bumped and I never did make it!)
Do you have a recipe for the shrimp salad? Sounds like that would be a good meal that my girls at least would eat!
Tobye, it's a Cook's Illustrated recipe(of course! lol) and I haven't actually tried it yet. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's any good and if it is, I'll share the recipe. 🙂
MMMmmmmm! Jaci (my soon-to-be-wife) have been making fried squash lately! It is to die for...
