Blessings From Home

Thursday, Shopping Trip, Menu, Pantry Challenge

What a crazy and rainy day today has been. I went shopping today to get my groceries for next week and ran my errands for the week. I did pretty good at the store and only got what we had to have and I knew I would use.

So here's what I got at the store with the price:

Fish Sticks-2.50

Fresh Mushrooms-1.68

4 cans tuna-.50 each

2 cans tomato sauce-.24

bananas-1.48

Sliced Olives-.68

Sausage-1.98

Ketchup-.93

Macaroni noodles-.50

1 can green beans-.48

1 can cream of mushroom-1.08

4pk-stick butter-.58

6lbs ground beef-3.06/lb (that may seem a little steep, but I buy it from a wonderful mennonite family on the outskirts of town and it is very lean. It's not something I do a whole lot either.)

I also got WIC, which provided us:

2 gallons of milk

1 carton of eggs

1 can frozen juice

1 lb mozzarella cheese

So total spent for the next full week with tax (April 1-7):  $35.51

Now for my menu:

Sunday-b-oatmeal pancakes and sausage

l-meatloaf, potatos, salad, homemade ranch

d-meatloaf sanwiches

Monday-b-WIC cereal

l-baked mac n cheese, carrot sticks

d-fish sticks, baked mac n cheese, mixed veggies

We have milk, juice, tea, and water to drink. And I also have a couple of deserts to make up this week. One is a pumpkin pie (I've got some canned pumpkin I need to use up), and some chocolate chip cookies.

In other news:

It's raining cats and dogs out there right now. Our street is majorly flooded and I've been standing at the door watching all the little cars brave through it and some getting stuck. I've been working on some projects to send to my mother in law, yesterday I made the cutest little apron for her dish soap, have you seen those? And I also made her 2 new potholders. I think I'm also going to make her a plastic bag holder. Well, I better get off of here and go fix some dinner. Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Hi there!
