Well last week I did EXCELLENT, which was expected because I stocked up on meat. This week was not bad. I probably could have done better maybe using some coupons at Tops but I just wanted to get in and out. And there are week’s where the deals at Tops don’t intince me enough- this was one of those!
I have to add that my Sunday Dinner was going to be Veggie Spaghetti- Yeah I just throw in peppers and carrots to the sauce. Anyways I use my canned tomatoes from the Farmers Market( except for when my husband is making dinner!) and my daughter was playing with the salt shaker I go to add my salt in the whole top of the shaker came off. The other daughter was in my arms I couldn’t shimmy the top with all the salt sitting on it instead I turned it to it’s side and WHOA! HELLO MR. SALTY! Its in the fridge now when I can attempt to fix that tomorrow!
So they ate whatever was in the fridge for dinner! Ever have one of those nights? Tell me about it below! – Go ahead you can scroll down now leave a comment than come back up here to see what I bought! 🙂
