What did we eat June 9th to 12th?

​

We are now on week 7 of the "eating out" ban. We did good this week and resisted the urge to eat out 😂. 

I am posting after we have had our meals for the week instead of trying to “plan ahead”.  That doesn’t always work here lately because of prices being higher than expected or lack of inventory at the grocery store and having to replan on the fly, which is never good for me. 😂

Lunchs:

M: frozen burritos

T: bologna sandwichs and a sausage (for hubby)with chips

W: sausages and chips for hubby [homemade] beef n barley soup and carrots for me

TH: hubby: had the last of the sausages and leftover roast n taters. I had a bologna sandwich and chips

Suppers:

M: Roast and taters in crockpot (i also used the broth from the roast and taters and made myself some beef n barley soup for future meals)

T: (date night) fixed hubby a steak and we both had mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy

W: made quesadillas using leftover roast from Monday.

Thanks for stopping by.  Honestly this weekly menu post has helped me a little bit. 🥰 I must continue on. Let me know if it has helped you as well. 

Wednesday night church is over until school starts back up. Thursday supper through Sunday supper we will be eating at work.

We are now on week four of the "eating out" ban. While we did eat out last Monday, it was less than $20, and was included in my grocery budget.  Did we cheat?  I say no.  It was also a Mother’s Day treat.  This week we are taking sister, and going to see mom for a late Mother’s Day, and we will be taking her out to eat.  That will also come out of the grocery budget for hubby and my lunch.  Is that a cheat? No because we planned it in advance.  

Sorry this is a bit late this week. Its been a busy one for sure.

2.  sandwich and chips

3.  sandwich and chips
