Part of the reason I wanted to keep up the blog about my food budget is so I would stick to it. Accountability will hopefully act as a motivator!
I worked more hours than usual this week so my eating has suffered. We had a lot of extra pizza at work so I ate Domino's like three days last week. Can't turn down free meals!
But I also made a huge portion of a pasta dish that lasted for about a week. All I did was make a box of penne whole wheat pasta and I added cooked broccoli, onions, zucchini, and squash. I melted some laughing cow cheese in there and then added pasta sauce. I used a ton of spices- basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano.
So this weeks grocery shopping consisted of this-
Target- Salsa- $2.00 (don't take ebt cards)
Costco- 4 pack of Healthy Choice Frozen Meals - $6.02 after my coupons (also don't take ebt cards, so sad)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bi-Lo
Thomas multi grain, 2 for $5.00
Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream -$1.85- It was on sale, I couldn't say no
Spinach - $1.97
Total- $8.81 which leaves me with $6.44 till the end of the month.
