What I Spent
Let’s see…I popped by the produce stand and spotted a box of bruised apples. So of course I brought them home. 😉
I paid $15 for 33 pounds.
I also paid a few dollars for 6 ears of corn.
I was nearly out of frozen berries, so I trekked on over to Costco, which I spent $110.92.
And I spent $116.62 on other regular grocery shopping.
That puts me at $245 for the week, which is a little on the whoa side of things.
But I had a low spending month in August, and I just know that Costco weeks are always going to be pricey, so I’m not worried. I think my weekly average is still gonna be jusssst fine.
What We Ate
Monday
I spent my day staining my deck and painting my laundry room, but luckily I had some bratwurst in the freezer and they were super fast and easy to grill for dinner.
I think we had a salad with the brats but my memory is failing me a bit.
Tuesday
I had to go to a meeting, and I left a taco salad at home for Mr. FG and the kids.
Wednesday
I defrosted some pulled pork which we ate on buns. We had sauteed green beans as a side, along with veggie straws and apple slices.
Thursday
Let’s see…the girls and I ate Apple Pfannekuchen, Joshua ate a leftover pulled pork sandwich, and Mr. FG ate two slices of pizza that he picked up on the way home.
It was a haphazard night.
They happen.
Friday
I haven’t made deep dish pizza in a while and I’m wondering if maybe it’s time for a batch…
And that does it for my weekly food report!

I would love to know what you're using to stain your deck, as that's a project I need to start this month. The last stain we used was terrible -- it started peeling and flaking almost right away.

Monday - we had a variety of leftovers from the weekend Tuesday -rotisserie chicken with roast potatoes with homemade gravy and edamame on the side Wednesday - spaghetti with meat balls, veggies Thursday - my daughter's first day of kindergarten. She chose tacos with all the fixings. Friday - my two favorite homemade deli salads - Thai peanut pasta salad, turkey Havarti deli salad with grapes and almonds, and smoothies Saturday - chicken nuggets and leftover deli salads Sunday- my wonderful mother-in-law brought over a taco Casserole to enjoy during the football game.
A side note, I'm 37 weeks pregnant and last night saw that you had Apple Pfannekuchen. I've been wanting to make one for a while and since my husband was our with friends last night and the kids were asleep, I made one for dessert for myself. I ate the whole thing and then made two more this morning for breakfast (I only ate a half this time). Delicious! Thanks for the tip about making more if you are pregnant. ;)

This week was horrible as I was working in the evenings and busy all day so pretty difficult to plan meals. I need to get in the habit to make a few meals that I can pull out of the freezer.
Sunday - out to dinner New Mexican place not very good too so felt like a total waste Monday - sausage hotdogs on bun with potato salad and cucumber salad Tuesday - chipotle for dinner Wednesday - spicy sausage pasta ( ATK recipe) Thursday - steak lettuce wraps (WW recipe) Friday - Ate out again at our favorite Mexican Saturday - homemade meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans.
Very bad week planning wise. But it was totally unexpected that I would work this week. Luckily I didn't shop much for groceries because it would have gone bad

Monday-Baked salmon, mac and cheese, and something else but I forgot. Tues- Baked pork chops and apples with roasted cabbage. For dessert we had homemade bread pudding. Wed- Sloppy joes with mixed vegetables on the side. I ate mine without the bun as I am currently sick of buns. Thursday-Ugh, we ate out. I had an unexpected doctor's visit so it seemed like the best thing to do at the time. Does it count that I had planned bake salmon again with broccoli? Friday-Unsure, but I am trying to cut back so maybe some kind of salad.
