My Frugal Week
We did not eat out at any restaurant, get take out, or eat any fast food in January. I would love to do the same for February as it really helps save money by eating at home.
On Saturday I was running errands close to Kroger, so I stopped in to pick up some sale items and to check their markdowns.
I found these two tubs of power greens on mark down for $1.57.
For sale items, I picked up five bags of their two pound bags of cheese for $5.99. They were out of the three pound bags of onions for $1.99 though.
I did find four packages of meat on markdowns though, which are now in my freezer along with the cheese.
Food Added to the Pantry this Week:
3 cans pears
3 cans green peas
4 cans corn
3 cans green peas
4 cans corn
1 can mixed vegetables
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Oranges
15 Grapefruit
1 Sweet Potato
5 pounds russet potatoes
2 bags frozen peas

1 pound pinto beans
What’s for Dinner
Monday ~ Turkey BBQ, Baked Sweet Potatoes, and Sugar Snap Pea Stir Fry. I took the last of the turkey breast and chopped it up in my food processor and added BBQ sauce, pepper, and onion powder. It was a big hit and that made me happy.
Movie Night Tuesday ~ Leftovers, Chicken & vegetables for me and BBQ Turkey & vegetables for Bailey.
Wednesday ~ Chicken Sausages, Baked Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts.
Thursday ~ Tacos, Flour or Corn Tortillas, Red Onions, Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes & Lettuce, and Corn.
Friday ~ We were on the road to Atlanta, so no dinner at home. We had taco leftovers before we left and brought cheese sticks and granola bars with us in case we got hungry.
Saturday ~ Grilled Beef/Cheese Hotdogs sans buns, Sautéed Cabbage & Onions, Choice of Baked Sweet or Yukon Gold Potato.
Sunday ~ Chicken Fajitas on choice of Corn or Flour Tortillas, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Red Onions, Cheddar Cheese, Bok Choy & Garlic, and Corn.
