I didn’t shop last Friday so I had nothing to post. We just found out that Mr. Foodie will be heading out west again in a little over a week for another six weeks. ~~sigh~~ That sent off a little internal panic button. Today is the first day of Hurricane Season and we’ve already had […]
Hmmmm…I didn’t post last week. This is where we stood last week… Not one spare inch in the deep freeze. Nada. . . . . . Also stuffed. Totally. . . Shopping. Over my attempted $50 a week again. I splurged on the Feta, that was $10 but with summer here we will be eating […]
Today Today’s shopping trip…$83.80 Over my self-imposed budget of $50 for the week but I decided to get some spare ribs that were on sale for $2.49 pound. That was $27.00. But my big score was strawberries. Aldi had them on in store clearance for 25 cents pound!! Some of them have already gone soft, […]
My Internet Explorer browser quit playing nice with WordPress a few days ago so I’ve been out of the loop. I switched over to Firefox and can finally “see” you all again! I’ve got some catching up to do but here’s my Friday post. The big box store came out with another coupon book […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done this but I’ve found some other blogs that do something similar so I’ll be bringing this back each week so I can link up and participate with them. After spending several weeks focusing mainly on ingredients I had in the fridge and freezers, Mr. Foodie and I put […]
Not a bad shopping trip today. I’d still like to see it lower since gas in my neighborhood has officially passed the $4.00 mark. $4.03 today with no end in sight. And no meat today either, aside from two packages of hot dogs to toss in the deep freeze. Beef prices are going up again around […]
No Fridge pictures today. In between doctor appointments today this is what Mr. Foodie and I gathered. Not one single ounce of meat. Well, if you want to include the little 29¢ frozen Beef and Bean Burrito thing he tossed in the buggy at Aldi as a quickie lunch for when we got home before rushing […]
Freezer is still stuffed but I’m working on it. The fridge finally looks like somebody actually lives and eats here! I made a little room in the deep freeze after these pictures were taken. Pulled out the package of Ribs I got on sale a few weeks ago and a Ribeye. […]
I actually did this yesterday. Mr. Foodie will be home late Monday night and I’ll be SO happy to be cooking full meals again and actually following a meal plan! I had forgotten how hard it is to cook for one! And I’m tired of looking at my poor little fridge looking so bare! It […]
Things still haven’t changed much but Mr. Foodie will be home in a little over a week (YAY!!) so the fridge will start filling out and the freezer contents will get rotated out much faster. AND…I can get back to cooking some *real* food! Pulled out the old hair dryer and emptied and defrosted the deep freeze […]
Actually I did all this on Thursday because it was my birthday and I went shopping to spend some birthday money. And with the price of gas ($3.81 a gallon when I topped off!!) I decided to save the extra trip(s) and get it all out of the way. Making a little headway with many of the leftovers […]
No new food today because I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t make it to the store. Look at the size of those carrots!! Those are the last of our Heirlooms from the garden, both Yellow and Purple (also have some White but they’re hidden in the bottom of the crisper drawer), and are waiting to be […]
I’m starting to see a little breathing room in the freezer. Not much, but a little. Those Pita’s are preying on my mind. I’m thinking a Pita Pizza is in my future. See those four bell peppers? Let me tell you what my Frugal Fanny did today. I had originally purchased green and […]
I meant to post these before today to provide a complete chronology but, I didn’t…so here they are… This trip was done on December 30th but I counted it toward our January budget. It also included a trip to the big box store using their in store coupons. For me to get a full […]
Doesn’t look like things are moving very much but I’d rather have them full than empty. Could have done better today but had to hit a sale at Publix for the BOGO mayonnaise and the sale on Ground Chuck so I opted to run by the produce market for the produce and skip the rest […]
Well, sort of. I realize this post is coming in on the 15th. I had every intention of kicking this off on the first but hadn’t settled on a theme and since finding this one I’ve been learning all the formatting. I guess one good thing is I have a few things “in the bag” […]
