What I Spent
I’m clockin’ in at $168 this week. And I’m without a grocery photo.
Sorry about that. I did buy food, promise. 😉
What We Ate
Monday
Grilled shrimp, mashed potatoes, and salad.
Tuesday
I’d redeemed my Swagbucks for a P.F. Changs gift card and we went out to use it. The restaurant was pretty busy, so we had to wait a while. But our waitress was great, and we weren’t in a hurry, so we didn’t mind waiting.
She was super appreciative of our patience, and she gave us copious amounts of fortune cookies at the end of our meal as thanks. So, that was pretty awesome. 😉
Wednesday
Fish tacos! Here’s the fish taco recipe that’s my fave (and it requires no frying. Whee!)
Thursday
Um, we might have had tacos again.
But I totally do not have a Tex-Mex addiction. I can quit anytime I want.
Friday
I haven’t decided for sure, but I do know that we’re not having tacos.
Even I have my limits, people.

The only "taco problem" I can imagine is not having enough tacos. Tacos (or tex-mex in general) are the one thing our entire family could eat daily. What's not to love?

I'm sorry to hear that you feed your family tilapia fish. Are you aware that it is the worst, most polluted fish to eat? It's dangerous to your health. The farmed fish is fed chicken and pig poop and other byproducts. Plus a crap load of chemicals.
Tilapia is worse than eating bacon!

You'd be better off getting wild caught, frozen flounder, which is sold at Aldi at a fair price.
Now you know. I hope you will correct your ingredients in the future.

We not only eat a lot of tacos but burritos & carnetas also,love them all. Roasted chicken, pulled pork, pancakes & sausage,hot beef sandwiches, cream of broccoli soup. So it was a good week here in, definitely ate in all week. I'm really working on waste but having trouble with my CSA boxes. Do to the amount of rain this season & being organic things are not holding very long

It's Saturday so I have to ask - was it Taco Pizza night?
I think your Tacos Twice is better than my Smorgasborg Several Times this week. It was at least twice for dinner and some serious last-minute scrounging for brown bag lunch and even so, I had canned soup twice. Not too bad in that I didn't eat out instead but pretty sad on the planning front.
There's even a good reason to clear out some freezer space. In a few weeks I'm visiting friends who raise meat fowl and hogs for sale, and I want to get bring home a cooler-ful. So lots of chicken legs, pork chops, and burgers in my future. I wonder if I could get a friend to stash a turkey for me, in case my nephew has time to visit and make a turducken. Before he moves to Norway. Urk!
