Menu and Grocery Spending

I do actually have more than pictures this week! 🙂 They are up first, though.

Produce:

And everything else:

Well, everything else except for my two jars of milk, my blueberries, and the butter I stocked up on (see below).

I have a fairly complicated grocery report. First, I spent $6 on milk from the farm. Then I stopped at a local store to buy some butter (it was on sale for $1.66/pound), and spent $13.19 there.

On Thursday, I got 20 pounds of blueberries from New Jersey, and spent $28.

So, before I even left for my regular trip, I’d already spent $47.19 of my $100 budget.

That left me with only about $53 to spend. I spent $39.74 at Aldi, and $13.03 at Weis. Happily, that put me right at $99.96, $.04 under budget! 😉

We’ll be eating our usual breakfasts (granola, toast, fruit, and some cereal) and lunches (leftovers, bread, fruit and yogurt smoothies), and here’s what we’re having for our dinners:

Saturday

• Cajun Chicken Strips
• Mediterranean Vegetable Salad (I do realize that’s a weird side for Cajun Chicken!)
• Cheese Bagels

Sunday

• We’ll be at a friend’s house for a cookout, and I’m supposed to bring fruit. I will probably bring a watermelon.

Monday

• Chicken Salsa Skillet
• Zucchini patties

Tuesday

• Shrimp Salad
• Fruit Salad
• English Muffin bread

Wednesday

• Mexican Chicken Sandwiches
• Balsamic Vegetable Salad

Thursday

• Grilled Hamburgers
