What I Spent:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walmart – $2.09<\/p>\n

Somehow, I ran out of mayonnaise. And since I needed to make some more ranch dressing, that would not do at all! I had Daniel pick some up for us.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam’s Club – $79.89<\/p>\n

Sam's Club 2019.01.29<\/p>\n

Wow! That’s a big one! A combination of instant savings (Honey Nut Cheerios and ranch dressing mix) and needing to pick up some big bulk items (rice and pecans) made this an extraordinarily large trip. <\/p>\n

Walmart – $49.18<\/p>\n

ALDI – $30.03<\/p>\n

Aldi 2019.02.01<\/p>\n

\n

That’s $161.19, which is $46.19 over my budget of $115 per week.
\nSo…
\nWeek 1 – $143.28 ($28.28 over)
\nWeek 2 – $144.90 ($29.90 over)
\nWeek 3 – $126.78 ($11.78 over)
\nWeek 4 – $161.19 ($46.19 over)<\/p>\n

If I want to catch up next month, I’m going to have to reduce my weekly expenditures to $86 per week. It’ll be exciting to see if I can do it! :-)<\/p>\n

\n

What We Ate:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, January 26<\/strong>
\nWe had friends over and ate crockpot orange chicken over rice with canned pineapple, frozen stir-fry vegetables, and ramen cabbage salad on the side.<\/p>\n

Sunday, January 27<\/strong>
\nLunch – Caesar chicken sandwiches with leftover ramen cabbage salad and green pepper slices<\/p>\n

Supper – Soup supper at church before the member’s meeting<\/p>\n

Monday, January 28<\/strong>
\nBlack beans and rice
\nBlack beans and rice with lettuce salad (and our homemade ranch dressing<\/a>, of course!)<\/p>\n

Tuesday, January 29<\/strong>
\nLeftovers – Great Grams’ Spaghetti, probably with another lettuce salad and some sort of fruit (I really got in a lettuce salad rut this week)<\/p>\n

Wednesday, January 30<\/strong>
\nPizza and sides
\nHomemade pizza with carrot-raisin salad and lettuce salad<\/p>\n

Pizza in process<\/p>\n

Thursday, January 31<\/strong>
\nBeef taco with beans and sauteed zucchini and onions
\nBeef tacos with homemade unfried beans and sauteed zucchini and onions<\/p>\n

Friday, February 1<\/strong>
\nWe had been hoping to join friends for a monthly semi-potluck dinner – but the little ones have gastroenteritis, so we’ll be staying home and having minestrone instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
