Week 19 of Hubby’s Unemployment Adventures.
Yes. It’s getting a little wiggy around here.
Grocery shopping would have been fairly minimal this past week on my side … Hubby stopped at a little gourmet Italian market, only because he REFUSES to give up the favorite things in his life, good food. I don’t believe he spent more than $20 but still, I spent about $115 😉
I had to do a run on Saturday and stayed very conscientious on prices and what we really needed…this week I will stay even more focused, I promise.
Hubby made a whole slew of chicken on Saturday night so we will be chicken heavy a few nights, along with a few extra burgers that were patted out but not cooked.
Sunday – leftover bbq chicken with spinach dip on the side. Odd, I know but still yummy
Monday – Bacon blue cheese burgers that Hubby made in the cast iron skillet
Tuesday – walk night with Chatty … will have leftover chicken. I will opt to do a chopped chicken salad … found a new recipe that I’m kind of diggin at the moment so will need to post that!
Wednesday – trying to convince Hubby to make Salisbury Steaks (sort of) with the last remaining burgers … it’s his call tonight
Thursday – oh my word, I hope the leftovers are GONE and we can do soup and salad as it’s our first cold front of the season … woohoo! Umm, sorry, canned soup most likely
Friday – Hubby’s call … I’m guessing we need to dig out some pork chops or something … also, friends most likely will be over as it’s Fantasy Fest time and we have friends that come through at this time …
Saturday – this is my 24th Anniversary … and also so stinkin close to Halloween, my FAVORITE holiday … IF it’s just us, ribeyes from the freezer with asparagus (need to buy if worthy) with sautéed shrooms.
I know, not a very exciting week but I’m ok with that! We need to start getting focused and I’m seriously considering going on a Severely Restricted Spending month in November. I do have 2 turkey breasts in the freezer that we can use for Thanksgiving, PLUS Hubby still has a $25 Honey Baked Ham gift card … but that might be kept for the New Years festivities … scary that I’m thinking that far in advance, isn’t it?
Linking up with Menu Plan Monday … go check it out!
Just found your blog and am loving it! I can relate to a LOT of what you talk about…being frugal, shopping at Costco, crockpot cookery, having a husband at home (mine's retired). Keep up the good work!Karen from North Florida(ps: had to rewrite this because my first message disappeared when I logged in…if two happen to show up, please delete one…thanks)
