Okay ladies, here is how it went yesterday with the shopping.
Since we were on vacation last week, we knew that we could use some of our budget money for food and gas this pay period, for the trip. We did really good sticking to the budget. But as expected, we "dipped" a little into this week's money. Things are fine, but just made things a little "interesting" to cover everything.
So, for this week, Jeff had $150 for everything I needed to do. It goes as follow:
Sarah's piano lessons ( for the month) $40
Gas for the week ( not a tank full, lol ) $35
Car wash ( very needed with the salt and such) $10
Groceries ( for just this week) $66 ( $10 was for a SMithville ham for Easter dinner coming up !!! It was only $ .99 a lb !! )
Total for all ................................$ 151 !!!!!
Only $1 over what Jeff had given me !! I did it !!!! I pretty much can deal with whatever he has to give me and it makes me wonder why I need as much as I do on the pay periods where I get my "whole" budget amount. I could be saving some for this year's Christmas already.
The week's menu goes as this:
Monday: Chicken patty sandwiches, chips /dip
Tuesday: Homemade sauce with spaghetti and garlic toast
Wednesday: Sausage, eggs, and biscuits
Thursday: Pork loin chops, rice and veggies
Friday: Home made tacos, chips w/ dip
Saturday: ????
So there it is. I also bought what was needed for sandwiches, salads, and snacks for the week. Of course breakfast items were included in this trip also.
Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! I really appreciate it. How did you "happen" upon my blog? (Just curious.) :)
Do you blog somewhere else, too, or just here at HSB? (Just wondering 'cuz it's been a while since you posted here. -- If you're like me, though, your blogging tends to come in spurts.) :)
