What we're eating

Menu with Daily Costs

Notes: Prices continue to rise. I’ve noticed price jumps on some of our favorite foodie items of 20+ cents in the space of a week. Makes you re-evaluate if the box of cheese crackers you use to purchase for $1.00 is worth $1.29. I’m thinking this is not going to be a weekly item any longer as well as some other things. Thank goodness for the free bread and English muffins.

From the Garden: lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes as well as onions. Friends have shared peppers, different varieties of tomatoes and squash.
