WIS, WWA | hello, Sam's Club
I haven't made a Sam's Club run in ages. But I needed to bring a very large fruit salad to work for a coworker's going-away party, so I popped in and spent a fair bit of money!
(Obviously, I bought more than just fruit. Ha.)
What I Spent
I spent:
- $155 at Sam's Club
- $70 at Aldi
- $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
So, a whopping $255!
Needless to say, I do not anticipate a repeat of this next week. 😉
What We Ate
Saturday
Lisey called and mentioned she was stopping at Panera, and then Zoe and I were like, "Oooh, what a good idea." So I dug up one of my gift cards, and we got some Panera.
Mine was the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad (27 grams of protein!). And our meal cost me nothing out of pocket. 🙂
Sunday
I had some strawberries and some heavy cream that needed to be used, so I made waffles with berries and whipped cream.
Monday
I randomly remembered the Parmesan-crusted chicken I used to make, so I made that, and we ate it on a green salad.
Tuesday
I had a work shift, so I ate leftover chicken + a salad at work, and then I just had a fruit and yogurt bowl when I got home.
Wednesday
I made some chicken lo mein so that I could use leftovers for work lunches, and we also had some Aldi potstickers.
Thursday
It's National Nurses Week, and my hospital hosts a dinner for nurses every year. I obviously have never gone before (I was a tech last year!), but my work buddy Brittany and I both RSVPed and went together. 😉
Friday
It's a work day for me; I had egg bites for breakfast, I'm eating chicken lo mein for lunch, and I'll probably have a bowl of cereal for dinner.
Chiquita is hoping to be the cat who gets the cream!
This week's eats:
Saturday: Spinach and ricotta pasta parcels and garlic bread
Sunday: Potato and spinach frittata with garlic bread
Monday: Burritos with mixed veg, black beans, brown rice and sauce
Tuesday: Chilli mac and cheese
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Aubergine, mushrooms, onion and garlic with a basil and chilli sauce over spaghetti
Tonight: I'm going out after work so I don't know yet!
Ate a lot of chicken on salad this week and anything with cheese in a tortilla.
Happy Nurse's Appreciation and hope your provided meal was good!
This always strikes me as odd (copied from a search): Teacher Appreciation Week will be from Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8. Nurses Appreciation Week will be from Wednesday, May 6 to Tuesday, May 12.
Feels like these two hugely important roles in our society could at least each get their own week. Complicated for the days to be offset like that, too (for businesses trying to offer perks or discounts, for example).
