Dec. 20, 2005 - Menu for 12/19/05
This week's grocery bill came to a whopping $120 because we stocked up on half price batteries for Christmas gifts. Without batteries, we would have spent approximately $96. I did not have to buy any meats this week since I have everything I need stocked up from previous sales. Instead, I bought extra toothpaste, toilet paper, and some cereal all of which were half price. I hardly ever buy dry cereal unless it is half price and I have a coupon. Cereal is kept in the pantry for last-minute breakfasts and for snack cups. It makes a great treat to take along for an after-gymnastics snack.
Chicken Enchiladas - with corn and a salad
Filet mignon - with garlic mashed potatoes, citrus asparagus, and a salad
Macaroni and Gravy - we're having pasta twice this week. Once on Monday, and then again with homemade cheese & parsley sausage on Christmas Eve
