Meals & Deals: Low Spend Week! I was originally going to make this week a “no spend week” but my best plans got waylaid by tooth problems, allergies and a sinus infection that knocked me down for days. In addition to this, teen foodie started school and needs a ride, and my husband has been…

I’m actually not trying any new recipes this week, because I’m making so many of my own! I have tons of milk that needs to be made into yogurt. The garden is starting to pump things out, and I want to take advantage of that. Also, it’s back to school time, so I thought I’d…

This Week’s Meals: Um, yeah. Remember how I said I was shooting for $100/wk this month? That’s going to have to be an average, because somehow I opened my big mouth and, “Let’s have a cookout!” popped out. I couldn’t help it. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I wanted to…
June 2015 Grocery Budget Review
So now that I have a month of meal plans and shopping trips up, I thought it would be good to see how I did. The numbers are in, and I’m not happy with them. They’re not horrible for a family of 5 + animals, but they could be a lot better. I know a…
