Monday - Chicken breast with rice
Tuesday - hamburgers with pasta salad
wednesday - porc chops
thursday (leftovers)
Friday - fish with rice
Saturday - make take out at home
Sunday???
Seriously? I think I would buy like 80 if I could get strawberries for $1. I'm so jealous.
Was in Walmart today (son wanted to check the price of a game he wants). Saw 12 1L Mason jars for $7:shock:but I resisted the urge to buy them. :eek: I spent my money this week. And so I was a good little girl and didn't buy them. :top: I *may* have a mason jar obsession.
Subscribing to chatter. I can always use more tips! Or even just inspiration not to spend!!! :P
As previously mentioned we do not really mean plan but after going through the fridge we will be having the following this week as we need to use up some stuff in the fridge
Tonight is eggplant parm - To use up the clearance eggplant I bought yesterday
Tomorrow is Spinach Ricotta Rolls - To use up lasagna sheets
Tuesday is Roast Beef - - Was taken out for Sunday night dinner, but when with eggplant parm instead
The rest of the week we will figure out later. Knowing 3 days is pretty amazing for us.
Another grape freezer here. I love them in the summer as a snack or in drinks instead of ice. Yum!
Good morning everyone,
I've been up since 4AM eeek, so 1st order of the day get the kids up at 7AM and fed, lunches packed and out the door, then off to the garage with dh's truck to see what is wrong since there is a light on his dash board (fingers crossed not serious/expensive).
I'm up with you Jasper.
LO has been up for the last hour. He's playing on the floor next to me. He seems to be playing a little more quietly, so I'm going to try to lay him back down again soon.
I checked outside and it looks like the "snow storm" is over. Certainly got a few inches of snow in the evening, but there are still plenty of tire tracks down my busy street. I received a call last night asking if I could teach Grade 7 today because a teacher is storm stayed in Regina. LO has his 6month immunizations later today, so I was not available.
:wave: Morning all. Just up because the cats wanted out. No snow last night but it sure is cold out.
Good Early Morning all,
DH and I are off to the doctor's today which means fighting traffic into the city.
Making sure we have snacks and lots of water so we're not tempted to buy stuff. Even making some sandwiches since we'll get stopping at the hospital to see MIL on the way home.
JasperChar, hope the truck isn't too big an expensive. I dread going to the mechanic sometimes.
Angela, hope the LO is ok with the shots today, not too much crying.
Neighbour's dog has been here 12 days and while she's a treat to have, she piddles in our living room as if it's a grass patch. Every time I got out I come home to a wet patch.
Better hit the showers!
Have a great and frugal day all.
Morning guys!! March break is over!! We made it! My ds is headed to school in about 20 minutes and I cannot wait for a quiet house for a while! The lo and I will clean and watch a show or two. :) I hope you all had a great weekend!!
