Thursday night's dinner was liver, onions, bacon and baked potato for 1. Liver $.73. 1/2 # bacon $.45. Only 1/3 was used for supper. The other 2/3 made breakfast 2 mornings for my brother.
Friday night was left over chicken cacciatori the only cost was 5 oz. of noodles.
Saturday night was fish and chips for 5. There was also carrots, cole slaw and butternut squash. It seems when I have company I over cook. There was enough fish and chips left for DB's supper Monday night and enough fish to freeze for one more meal for 2. Total cost $4.25. The Monday night was free.
Sunday night we had pork chops, boiled potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw. $2.00 and there was enough pork left over to make a TV dinner.
Tuesday night hot dogs, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Cost $.60. Some of the sauerkraut and mashed potatoes were put in the pork TV dinner.
Wednesday night meat loaf, mashed potatoes and carrots. Cost $2.75 but watch for that meat loaf to reappear in the coming week.
Groceries were a little steep this week as I did my monthly shopping to restock the pantry. It seems we were out of a lot of things. Also ground beef was on sale for $2.49 a pound so can never have too much of that inthe freezer it can be used in so many ways.
Total groceries $54.00

For DB's morning snack I make it into a chocolate pie with 3 squares of graham crackers made into crumbs with 1 T butter. Add one serving of pudding. This adds 1 bread and 1 fat exchange.
Cost of the entire batch of pudding $1.12. Not sure on the pie crust.
I guess better late than never but am sure most have already visited our host, The Gardener of Eden
Yesterday I was thinking it was Friday when I got home. Not sure why. So we were both confused.
ReplyDeleteLovely canning, never thought about dehydrating the little potatoes I am going to have to look into that a bit more :)
ReplyDeleteI have never dehydrated potaotes. Sounds good with hamburger helper. We did some stocking up this week but our bill was much more than yours!! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that everything is alright with you, Wilderness and that you are just too busy to write.

Nina thanks for your concern. Yes I am extremely busy with moving snow and cooking for DB. Have also been babysitting a lot the great grandkids while my granddaughter is working. I hope to get back to blogging soon. Not much new and exciting here this time of year but am getting seed started so will be even busier tending to them.
