WIS, WWA | Cafeteria prices = up

We all got an email this week alerting us to an upcoming 10% hike on cafeteria food, across the board. Sooo, it just got a little extra motivating to be a lunch-packer! 🙂

What I Spent

I spent:

  • $35 at Safeway
  • $99.92 at Aldi
  • $9 at Giant

So, $148, which is a lot more than I've spent the last few weeks!

What We Ate

Saturday

We had green salads with chicken.

Monday

I got a rotisserie chicken, made some potato wedges, cut up some veggies, and called it good.

Tuesday

I made a batch of stuffed shells and froze half of them for a future meal. Such a nice feeling; my future self will be very appreciative!

I also prepped some egg bites for breakfasts the next few days.

Wednesday

Workday ⅓! I had egg bites, toast, and some fruit for breakfast.

For lunch, I ate mashed potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

After work, well...you already know. 😉

Thursday

Work again! A lather, rinse, and repeat on all fronts.

Friday

Shift 3/3 for me, and I'm switching it up very slightly; still egg bites for breakfast, but for lunch, I'm having leftover stuffed shells.

Odds are good that cereal will still be calling my name before bed, though. 😉
