What I Spent
I didn’t end up going to the store at all, largely because I didn’t feel good for a couple of days after my second shot.
Mr. FG did go shopping in my stead, though! He spent $99.90 at BJ’s and $9 at Lidl.
(Lidl stores are pretty new here, and I still have not been out to see what they’re like. I stubbornly refuse to think I will like Lidl as much as Aldi, though.)
March Grocery Spending
Week 1: $101
Week 2: $183
Week 3: $109.90 (let’s just round that to $110!)
What We Ate
Since we started daylight saving this week, you’d think that I would have a bunch of dinner photos for you, as I’m way more likely to snap a photo if there’s still natural light.
But I really dropped the ball on that; hopefully I will have more photos next week!
At least I’ve been diligently photographing my breakfast and lunches.
Saturday
I made an alfredo sauce, mixed it with some leftover plain cooked spaghetti, and topped it with browned chicken sausage slices. We had raw produce on the side.
Sunday
Support-your-local-restaurant-Sunday: we got subs this time.
Monday
I got my second vaccine shot late Monday afternoon, and Monday night, I was feeling fine. So I grilled some burgers, which we ate with a fruit salad.
Tuesday
I was definitely not 100% on this day; I made it through biology class plus the lab lecture, plus another appointment, but by dinnertime, I was really beat.
I had a Panera gift card, and this seemed like a perfect time to use it. So when Mr. FG was done with work, he went and picked up an order there for us.
Wednesday
I was feeling a lot better by dinnertime, so I made chipped beef on toast, plus I cut up some produce.
Thursday
Lisey really wanted French toast topped with fruit, and I happened to have some strawberries, blueberries, and a few ripe mangoes here.
So, I said yes to this request, and that was a simple decision because hello, French toast is a seriously easy thing to make for dinner!
Friday
I’m not sure; I need to do a fridge inventory to see what needs to be used up in there, and hopefully that’ll give me some dinner guidance.
Karen says
Kristen, I enjoyed reading all of your ideas for oatmeal. Here’s another website I read and Carrie also has ideas for savory oatmeal you might enjoy
https://dairycarrie.com/2021/03/19/savory-cheddar-and-sausage-oatmeal/
I also want to say don’t get discouraged with being frugal. I was raised by parents & grandparents who lived through the Great Depression, therefore frugality was a way of life. Now that hubby & I are nearing retirement age we can feel comfortable with our savings getting us through. We also can enjoy some of the “splurges” living in rural Iowa – going out to eat, supporting our local small businesses instead of doing repairs ourselves, makes me happy. I very much enjoy reading your blog. Thank you, Karen
Kristen says
Oh, interesting! I would not have thought of putting cheese in oatmeal. But it’s probably not crazy different than adding it to grits.
Betta from daVille says

Low Country Boil with shrimp, crab legs & crawfish
Spiral honey ham from the freezer, scalloped potatoes & green beans
Steak hoagie & fries from local Italian restaurant
Cheese coneys
Salmon patties, Mac & cheese, broccoli and fried cornbread
Chicken tortilla soup
Last Saturday – ?
Jo Anne Baum says
I love to cook and we are ranchers so we always have beef in the freezer…..since I retired I cook a lot (pandemic also influences this) ….made a ham on Sunday with potato salad and tossed salad…..Apple spice cake for dessert. Monday was spaghetti as I made spaghetti bake for the guys for lunch next day! Tuesday was Tilapia ….baked with asparagus & roasted potatoes (buy tilapia at Costco) made coconut macaroons for sweets. Wednesday was stuffed pork chops with sweet potatoes & green beans Thursday was ham & beans (boiled my ham bone) Friday was left overs and I made a carrot cake for dessert. Today I put a stew in crock pot as I an having lunch with a friend and getting groceries in town!
Becca says
We had:
Black beans & rice & a side salad.
Salsa chicken & black bean burrito bowls
Biscuits & gravy & a side salad
Corned beef, cabbage, carrots, au gratin potatoes
Bibimbop bowls with ground turkey & leftover veggies & greens.

Jean says
WIS: $40–mostly on the weekend special items. Some of which I am going to add to a food bag for the food pantry. I found I have quite a few of the special priced items in my pantry. They’ll help someone.
Mac&Cheese and tomatoes to use up the milk before it goes bad, Fresh cantaloupe
Lemon chicken on a bed of spaghetti with a lemon sauce
St. Patrick’s Day dinner
leftover corned beef dinner
Ham, beans, potatoes
Shepherd’s pie from the biweekly harvest box
Salisbury steak burgers, fries, baked beans (leftover) Fresh Pineapple
Fish Sandwiches/Crabcake/fries oranges, Bakalava hummus on graham crackers. The bakalava hummus was in our food box this week. It was good.
Amy says
Monday- baked pork chops with something….
Tuesday- paprika chicken over egg noodles
Wednesday- I can’t remember the meal but I did remember to make green lime jello – our big St Patrick’s day treat – I started this tradition when the kids were toddlers and it has become a tradition that even the teen looks forward to.
Thursday- take-out support the local restaurant- Daughter picked a local burger joint.
Friday- quick and easy and what we had in the fridge- kilbasa with carnalized onion over rice
Jaime says
Let’s see. This week we had:
Saturday: ?????????
Sunday: Steak, asparagus, ???
Monday: Sausage, chicken, shrimp gumbo (I missed out on my Mardi Gras celebration this year due to a move but I made sure I still got this dish in before it gets too warm for it)
Tuesday: Italian marinated pork, parmesan cauliflower, and ? rice maybe
Wednesday: Traditional St Patrick’s Day dinner-corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes (wanted left overs so I got 2 corned beefs. Decided to do one in the crockpot like normal and one in the Instant pot. I swore up and down the CP would be better but was pleasantly surprised how much better it was in the IP.)
Thursday: lemony pasta with left over pork and parmesan cauliflower
Friday: we got red fish in our fish delivery today so I think we will make a fish soup
My memory apparently isn’t that great this week
Gina says
I had a reaction to my 2nd dose, too – good immune response. Hubby is still waiting for his shots – I hope it will set his mind at ease! Tis week we have stuck to the healthy eating plan like gang busters! We ate:
Monday – Grilled Chicken Quarter, Brussels sprouts, 1/2 a twice baked potato
Tuesday – Tilapia with zucchini
Wednesday – Crockpot White Beans with ham hock, cilantro and chopped onion
Thursday – Turkey Eggplant Parmesan, corn
Tonight – Buttermilk Chicken, green beans, skinny masheds (gotta use up the last of the potatoes)
Saturday – Grilled pork chops and butternut squash after a day of heavy work at our property
Sunday – Take out {we will make a healthy choice!, even after another chore day}
Little wins: no more coffee creamer, less beef, more oats, lots of veg and smaller portions sizes = lost 4 pounds over the last two weeks. (:
BarbG says
I made pizza, chicken noodle casserole and spaghetti and alternated between them all week. I added salad, fruit and/or toasted french bread each night.
Jen says
I haven’t been to the grocery store since March 6th, so I think I did pretty well with making meals! I really need to go to the store soon. I don’t know how many more well balanced meals I can come up with from what I have on hand.
Thursday- I sliced up and roasted the last of a bag of carrots, warmed up some leftover rice, and heated up some frozen meatballs. Super easy.
Wednesday- I stopped by Costco on my way home from work to pick up a towel for a gift and grabbed a slice of pizza from the food court.
Tuesday- I had part of a bag of shrimp in the freezer. I made shrimp scampi, angel hair pasta, homemade sourdough, and frozen green beans.
Monday- My kind roommate was making a sweet potato coconut soup when I got home from work and fed me dinner. Very kind.
Sunday- I went to see my mom and grandparents for Sunday dinner. We had beef tenderloin and lemon sautéed asparagus, which I made and my mom made mashed potatoes.
Saturday – I made the vegetable panang curry from Cookie and Kate. So good! It was a great way to clean out all the odds and ends vegetables (onion, bell pepper, zucchini, cabbage, green beans, carrots) from the fridge. I also added a bit of chicken for protein and served it over rice.
priskill says
Sure hope you are feeling better!
Frugal Fail — 2X Pollo Loco this week -although the second one gave us $5 dollars off so it only cost $10 for both of us. It may be fast food but it adds up. Goal for this week is to get back to one restaurant/take out per week. And ignore the siren call of the Pollo Power Bowl.
Friday — Treat day and we ordered in pizza from a smallish local chain. And it was bad
Burnt, cold and just not very good. Cheapish, at least, but very disappointing.
Saturday — Big Salad mix with chicken breast
Sunday — We were coming home late from a hike and ended up with Pollo Loco #1
Monday –Homemade chicken soup using up lots of stuff
Tuesday — Big salad with leftover chicken breast for me; husband finished up soup (he didn’t feel well so soup and crackers hit the spot).
Wednesday –Pollo Loco #2. Le Sigh.
Thursday — Big Salad with chicken breast
Friday — Treat night — Possibly the Burger ‘n’ brew special at a local restaurant that serves outside. And that is it for the week, no exceptions. This means you, Crazy Chicken.
Happy Friday to all!
priskill says
love the band-aid selfie
Battra92 says
I can only visit Lidl when on vacation but I really enjoy going there. It’s closer to Aldi than different from it but I feel they have more specialty items I like. I particularly like the pretzels from the German bakery.
Lindsey says
Last Saturday I made freezer garbage soup, using up turkey left from Thanksgiving and all the bits and bobs of vegetables in the fridge and freezer. Unfortunately, I got a bit carried away and made so much we ate it for dinner all the way through Wednesday. On Thursday we had shrimp toast from a Jamie Oliver recipe, plus fruit salad and a cucumber salad. Tonight it is ham sandwiches for him and filet o’ fish for me. The upside of being bored silly by the same thing for dinner for a week is that there were almost no dishes dirtied and I feel virtuous for finishing off the turkey bits languishing in the bottom of the freezer, but we won’t be having soup again for a few weeks.
Kristen says
The shrimp toast must have been a welcome relief!
Nora says
Sat – jambalaya with veggies
Sun – pork roast, biscuits with apple butter, either creamed spinach or spinach salad
Mon – fancy spaghetti & meatballs, salad
Tues – green tea poached salmon, veggies
Wed – chix nuggets with green beans for the 5 youngest, reubens for the rest of us
Thurs – fish & chips, salad
Ruth T says
Isn’t it nice to have grilling weather again??? Your burgers and fruit make me feel more hopeful about nice weather!
This week for me follows in line with why you do a post about what you ate instead of what you planned to eat. I entered the week with all five weekdays planned out and wasn’t able to execute a single one as planned! Whoops.
Monday – Aldi red bag chicken sandwiches for the adults, chicken nuggets for the kids, then green beans and roasted brussel sprouts on the side.
Tuesday – Breakfast for dinner! This was a first for my kids to experience since I make something for breakfast about 5/7 days a week. But my plan was a complete failure, so I used up some extra buns to make french toast and grabbed OJ and sausages from the freezer. At least the kids thought it was fun to have breakfast for dinner.
Wednesday – Quesadillas – kudos to my 7yo for having this idea when it was 4:00 and I still didn’t know what I was going to make.
Thursday – Meatloaf, colorful cauliflower (an Aldi special buy I thought would be fun, but my kids only ate the white ones!), and corn
Friday – Beef stroganoff (Tuesday’s Plan A) with some vegetable I’ll pull out of the freezer
JD says
I did a little shopping last week, but not much. I can’t remember what I spent.
What we ate:
Hamburgers with tostones for me, fries for him, and carrot sticks. No bun for me.
I was taken out to lunch and ate WAY more than usual, so I wasn’t hungry for dinner and my husband had frozen lasagna.
Cassava spaghetti, with tomato based sauce and spinach, ground beef, onion and garlic for him, while I had the toppings minus the tomato base on my pasta. Pesto and cheese on top. A small salad.
Homemade beef and vegetable soup. Crackers for him.
Meatloaf with carrots and peas on the side. Fresh (free!) strawberries topped with whipped cream for dessert.
Leftover meatloaf, with homemade pear sauce and steamed and buttered broccoli.
And for St. Patrick’s Day, corned beef with cabbage, carrots and onions, cooked in the slow cooker. The cabbage turned a dark color, but tasted just fine, although it got a little too soft. I usually cook it separately, but didn’t have the time that day.
Ruby says
We spent $136 at the grocery store, but that included some pet supplies, cleaning supplies, and personal hygiene stuff, so the total cost for food was around $95. I’ll be glad when my husband and I are both fully vaccinated and we can go back to bargain shopping.
Dinner was still every man for himself, as we are home at different times and I get there last. My husband had sandwiches with nuts, cheese and carrots on the side. I had either yogurt-fruit parfaits, toasted extra-sharp cheddar cheese sandwich with carrots and mini pickles, or a berry protein smoothie. One night we splurged and had take-out pizza, which our son, the coupon wizard, helps make affordable.
priskill says
So true about missing my bargain shopping — it has been nice to be able to search for those deals again — hope you are done with shots soon
tricia says
Since the vax only lessens symptoms should you get COVID in the future (it doesn’t make you immune, see Dr. Fauci’s statements), make sure you wear your masks, just like we have been!
Ruby says
I had Covid in January and started the vaccinecseqyunce this week. We will still do all the safety measures we’ve done all along. I just will feel less anxiety about shopping, I hope. We have done all our shopping at one small store almost since the beginning of the pandemic because it has good mask enforcement and sanitation procedures.
Ann says
Sunday, we had Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and green salad.
Monday, we had Crockpot beef sandwiches, cut veggies and tater tots.
Tuesday, due to some schedule snafus, we did not have our planned chicken tacos. Instead, younger child had English muffin pizza, my husband and I had some minestrone soup that I had in the freeze and my older child ate at work.
Wednesday, we had corned beef, cabbage and soda bread. We also made “shamrock shakes”
Thursday, we had linguine with chicken sausage slices, marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella.
Tonight we will probably either make the chicken tacos that got skipped on Tuesday or we will get take out.
Bethel says
Based on solid research, the vaccine is definitely only affective if you take a bandaid selfie
I laughed out loud on that one, hahaha!
Julie says
I wish we had an Aldi here to check out, but I’m pretty pleased with my City Market (Kroger) most of the time. I love having a Sam’s close by, and if you haven’t tried their curbside pick-up I highly recommend it!
Working backwards –
Last night I used some spicy chicken patties from Sam’s. I had a buffalo chicken salad w/ roasted potatoes and the hubs had salad, a spicy chicken sandwich and roasted potatoes.
Wednesday we had spaghetti with marinara and Italian turkey sausage with a salad on the side.
Tuesday I made an Asian shrimp stir fry recipe. I’ll have the leftovers for lunch today. We had rice and eggrolls with that.
Monday we pulled some turkey burgers out of the freezer. When we grill those we always make extra and freeze them. So we had those with some tots and onion rings and yes, a salad.
Sunday was grilled salmon, roasted veggies and yep! Salad!
Tonight we’re having leftover pasta. We get big bags of aquaponic salad greens in our produce box each week and love being able to make huge salads with those. We add lots of goodies, like toasted walnuts, carrots (usually also from the produce box), radishes, herbs if we get those in the produce box, etc. Feta is a must!
Deidre says
We have both Lidl and Aldi here. (Honestly I can go Harris Teeter, Trader Joes, Lidl, Aldi, Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, Publix, Lowes Foods, and Food Lion in a 5 minute drive so I’m really spoiled.) I love both for different reasons. Both are super clean and well stocked near me. Lidl has hands down the best tortilla chips and organic salsa I’ve ever had. Ever. And their sandwich meat is great as well. I find Lidl to have a larger selection of fruit and it’s great quality. But here’s the thing – it can vary place to place so give it a try. We’ve had spaghetti and meat sauce, beef tips with roasted potatoes and asparagus, mulligatawny soup, burgers, chicken sandwiches and homemade pizza tonight.
N says
I haven’t a menu to offer, just my excitement at trying to caramelize onions in the crock pot for the first time ever today! I discovered last night that 2/3 of our new bag of onions had mushy and/or moldy spots despite passing inspection when I bought them a few days ago. This morning I cut out the offending bits and sliced the rest up for the crock pot. We recently bought an amazing pizza cookbook that uses caramelized onions in several recipes, so the hoped-for end product will be used wisely.
priskill says
Ooo that is a great use of the crockpot — something I never thought of
Jaime says
I figured this out back in the fall! While I didn’t think they were quite as good as the stove ones we make for burgers, it was still a decent set it and forget it recipe and made good dip!
Bobi says
I loved Lidl when they first moved here but our store is poorly managed. The self checkouts are rarely open, they never have an adequate supply of advertised specials (if you want something on sale you better arrive early on the day the sale starts) and if you have a problem, you get the run-around and excuses instead of a solution.
Mine is conveniently located right next to Aldi but I find Aldi to be more reliably stocked, better quality and overall a better shopping experience.
Lidl also wastes a lot of space on poor quality non-food items. And the store cleanliness seems to be worse every time I visit. I still occasionally stop at Lidl, but overall I don’t consider it a great place to shop anymore.
Rachel B says
I know I fed my family last weekend, but I really can’t remember what!
Monday my seven year old daughter (DD7) made spaghetti (well, elbow macaroni) with marinara sauce. She declared it, “The best ska-betti I’ve ever eaten in my life!” I was with her 100% of the time and drained the pasta for her. She’s the pickiest eater, so I’ve decided to get her to help in the kitchen, hoping the Ikea effect kicks in (you know, that piece of furniture is the best because I made it). So far, so good. My three year old (DD3) helped by putting frozen broccoli on a sheet pan to roast, and putting more frozen broccoli in a pot to cook on the stovetop, as she’s not a fan of roasted.
Tuesday DD7 wanted to learn how to make “Grandpa’s Famous Chili” but without meat. I prepped the veggies for her, but she did all of the dumping and stirring and added all of the spices. DD3 and I made vegan cornbread. I’m not sure where we made a wrong turn, but it was very…wet. She liked it. It was okay.
Wednesday – leftovers for the kids. Salads for the hubs and I.
Thursday – homemade fries and corn on the cob for the kids; soy curl taco bowls for the adults.
Friday – probably Thai carryout from our favorite place for everyone else while I sneak out to a church service. It’s the first week of Great Lent for us (Eastern Orthodox), and I’d really like to make it to church once. The kids really struggle with evening services, so it’s going to give me some alone time, too.
Sarah G says
Saturday- I went full midwestern girl and made tuna noodle casserole. My offspring were less than enthused. We ate green beans on the side so at least they got their beloved favorite vegetable.
Sunday- leftover casserole, notwithstanding children’s reluctance.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- On these days we were away on a short trip so we ate out.
Thursday- Fridge cleanout smorgasbord
Friday- naan pizzas
Ruth T says
“Full midwestern girl”… hahaha! Yep! I had that SO often growing up!!
Sarah G says
Same here… I can still taste the little bits of mushroom from the cream of mushroom soup my mom used
Mine doesn’t taste the same; I need to ask my mom how she made hers!
Shannon says
Spent $41 on a meal subscription box + $123 at the grocery store.
Fri: Chicken or meatballs with carrots and potatoes.
Thurs: Ancho chili meatloaves, zucchini, and mashed potatoes
Wed: Takeout
Tues: Lasagna, sliced cucumbers and bell peppers
Mon: Pasta in a cream sauce with zucchini and bell peppers + coconut shrimp
Sun: Sushi bowls with smoked salmon
Sat: Not sure, may have been a fast food night.
Jennifer says
Dd had Lidl in her NC town, but as an avid Aldi shopper, she felt the prices were good, but the quality of the produce and meat was lacking.
So, in the interest of just being aware, dd got her first COVID shot three weeks ago and developed COVID arm – you know, the red circle, soreness that so many people have mentioned. That’s nothing major, it goes away in a few days. However dd then developed a swollen area, much larger and much redder than most cases. She also developed a fever and a constant ache, much more than the regular soreness from a shot. She needed her instincts and went to Urgent Care and she was given an antibiotic and a steroid. 2 days later and she was mostly back to normal. The Dr. said it was probably a secondary infection, but with it being two weeks after the shot, he wasn’t sure. So, what I’m saying is if you have more than the usual issues, get it checked out. I’m sure she is in the tiny minority, but just in case, I wanted to share her story.
Shannon says
I hope your daughter feels better! Glad she was able to get things taken care of at urgent care – definitely a smart thing to do with having unexpected symptoms.
tricia says
I’ve heard of this, sometimes referred to as ADE – a kind of of inflammatory response (see Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who has great easy to understand explanations for what the vax ingreds do in the body!). I hope your daughter feels better – good for her for following her instinct!
Angie says
Let’s see…
Saturday….I made a large batch of spaghetti using home canned diced tomatoes & home canned tomato sauce.
Sunday….I cooked up a batch of kielbasa and we ate that with rice, frozen field peas from our garden, frozen green beans from our garden and sliced tomatoes. Super simple, super yummy.
Monday…leftovers.
Tuesday…I had to run a couple of errands after picking up my little guy so I hit the easy button and brought home a pizza from a local family owned spot.
Wednesday….two more errands so leftovers it was.
Thursday….beef stroganoff, peas, sliced tomatoes.
Friday….salmon patties & my little guy wants mashed potatoes…some kind of veggies to go with
Saturday…I have some ribs in the freezer and since it will be sunshiny I think I will defrost them and throw them into the roaster with some home canned peach salsa. Perhaps a pasta salad loaded with veggies to go with it.
Our grocery spending is quite low this month compared to what I have budgeted for us so I may adjust the budget down a bit. We are at about $400 for the month and that includes a big trip we made to purchase food to be donated. Of course this will creep up during the spring and summer as I put funds to our garden and also purchase veggies & fruits from a local farmer to put away for the winter. COVId has taught me the beauty of home canned tomatoes & tomato sauce & peaches & jam. All that yumminess in the winter is a lovely thing.
Happy weekend!
Jaime says
All the canned tomatoes and frozen zucchini that we prepared in August is might nice right now too
kristin @ going country says
Friday: Tuna noodle casserole for the kids (Lent is the only time I make this, much to my children’s disappointment), scrambled eggs with feta and caramelized onions for the adults (I had a bunch of onions going bad, hence the caramelized onions), frozen peas for all
Saturday: Roast beef and onion gravy, fried potatoes, green salad with vinaigrette
Sunday: Roasted chicken legs, rosti (basically a giant hashbrown roasted in a skillet), steamed carrots and broccoli, and a peach-blueberry pie made as a joint effort between me and eldest, pie-loving son
Monday: Lots of leftovers
Tuesday: A very original meatloaf (part ground beef, part pork sausage, eggs, some ancient rhubarb sauce, no breadcrumbs), baked potatoes, mashed squash, frozen peas, baked custard because I had some egg yolks to use up
Wednesday: We always have pestofor St. Patrick’s Day (green!), so it was pasta with pesto this day. Plus a casserole I made up with the rest of the ground beef and sausage browned with garlic, half mixed with chopped calabacita (like zucchini) from the freezer, and the whole topped with roasted tomato sauce from the freezer and grated asadero cheese from the freezer, then baked. Also, green salad with ranch dressing, and Americanized Soda Bread to use up some yogurt. And to make my children happy.
Thursday: Beef roast, shredded and mixed with the rest of the rhubarb sauce and some mustard (to cut the sweetness of the rhubarb sauce), served as sandwiches for the kids, plus coleslaw.
Tonight: Scrambled eggs, leftover pasta with pesto, leftover coleslaw
Stephanie says
1. Shrimp pesto pasta with black olives and grape tomatoes. Cabbage and onion slaw
2. Red sauce over polenta with leftover slaw
3. Pasta leftover night with naan crackers and hummus and kale salad.
4. Kale salad with deli Turkey. Chopped apple. Craisins. Sunflower seeds.
5. Taquitos in air fryer ( so crispy!). Guacamole with pretzel crisps.
The sunny evenings really got me in the mood to cook this week.
