Food Budget
Our food budget is $100 per week for groceries, plus $200 for Costco. (or less for weekly and more on Costco, but total spending should be $600) Meals out are limited to $200 per month.
This week's Safeway bill was astronomical... there were a few things I should probably have passed on - such as ten dollars of sliced mango, and two bottles of wine. It also included a $15 giftcard for an upcoming occasion. Total $217.11 Yes, ouch. And then there was also costco today (for dogfood and clams) $51.89.
Menu Plan:
Sunday: Grilled Paella
Monday: Pasta with clams
Tuesday: Spicy Salmon Cakes, rice, salad
Wednesday: Chicken with chunky tomato salsa, rice, corn
Thursday: Individual meat loaves with potatoes, roasted beets.
Friday: Ravioli with heirloom tomatoes and goat cheese.
Saturday: Chicken Tikka Masala, roasted eggplant, coconut rice, and pistachio brittle with ice cream.
(This is my attempt at adventure this week)
Breakfast: Oatmeal, or eggs on toast, or smoothies
Lunch: leftovers from previous night's dinner or salad
Snacks: Crackers and cheese, fruit, yogurt
