My Frugal Week
Bailey & I went out of Saturday to get groceries. We first went to Kroger and then headed to UGO. We found several markdowns at Kroger and found Bailey’s favorite breakfast turkey sausage at UGO ($2.49) for much cheaper than Kroger ($9.49).
UGO also had red bell peppers for $1.00 rather than the $1.50 price of them at Kroger. Shopping at UGO really helps us save money on our grocery bill and budget.
What’s for Dinner
Monday ~ Leftovers from Sunday ~ Chicken Fajitas, Corn or Flour Tortillas, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onions, Cheddar Cheese, Jalapeños, Cottage Cheese Chipotle Ranch, Taco Sauce, and Corn.
Movie Night Tuesday ~ Everyone was on their own for tonight, but I did make Bailey a homemade pizza for her movie night. We were out of turkey pepperoni, so I took two hotdogs and cut them thinly and air fried them for a few minutes to make our own pepperoni and she enjoy them made that way.
Wednesday ~ Leftovers of Swiss Steak, Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes, and Rainbow Swiss Chard, which we got free from one of the free community gardens in Chattanooga. It had been picked that morning and was so fresh and delicious.
Thursday ~ Korean Beef, Roasted White Sweet Potatoes, Rainbow Chard.
Friday ~ Bailey has book club this night, so I was on my own for dinner. I tried a new recipe that Carol posted in the Living Simply Facebook group for Black Bean & Rice Burritos. It was definitely delicious and similar to several of the Mexican recipes we make.
Saturday ~ BBQ Pork Chops, Macaroni & Cheese, Brussel Sprouts.
Sunday ~ I took the leftover burrito filling from Friday and turned it into soup adding a can of mild enchilada sauce.
What’s on the Menu for This Coming Week
We served two meatless meals again this week to save money on meat. We also did not eat out at any restaurants, order take out or eat any fast food in February, which makes a two month streak for us.
What’s been on the menu in your home this past week?
