Welcome to my first Tightwad Tuesday entry! Thank you to Mary for inviting me to join! As of yesterday I decided to boycott foodshopping for the month of September. This is no easy task for me because I love to cook and I love to grocery shop! But, my pantry is overflowing, our checkbook is not, so I decided to make do with what we have. It should be an interesting month--stay tuned!
Lunch today- chicken salad sandwiches and apples
Dinner - spinach and cheese (whatever kind I have!) quiche and soup. Nothing too interesting, but I'm sure it will get tougher by the end of September!
I'm looking forward to learning lots of new things from all of you lovely ladies. I am off to make my first batch of Shani's homemade chocolate syrup---(previously posted in her tightwad Tuesday) I had everything already in the pantry, thank goodness, because remember, I'm not allowed to grocery shop!

Hiya T~
Your menu sounds great so far - it's amazing what we have and we don't even know it. How'd the chocolate syrup turn out?
I was just on Mary's site and noticed that you hadn't linked yourself to the Tightwad Tuesday post - don't forget to do that, or no one will come visit you!!! :(
All righty, 9 more minutes on this thing and then I have to go work on school stuff. Started back on schedule today, and can I tell you how great it was?!?! I may never go off it again (yeah, right... 179 days to go, lol!!)
love,
S

Okay, my mistake... I thought the Tina on Mary's TT post was solidrock because I had already visited her, but it was for the A-P post. You're just fine, it's me.
sorry again *ugh*

Hey girlfriend!!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of bloggyland!!! Whoo Hooo!! Somebody else to corrupt!!! he he he Just kidding!!!!
I need to try the 'no shopping' thing sometime. I'm not that brave. Maybe I could do it AFTER we do a big grocery shopping trip. Would that count?
You just go with your bad self!!!

I wish you well in your endeavors for the month. That will be a tough one, but with the Lord's help, I am sure you will be very creative.
If you haven't stopped by to see the contest I'm having to kick off my new meme, I hope you'll find some time to do so.

I too am trying to avoid doing a big supermarket shop, we went through our kitchen cupboards and found we had lots of stuff nearly out of date to use up - should try and be more organised really.
The chocolate syrup sounds good, might try that. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
