Thrifty Thursday

 Week 10 & 11

Stuck to my $100 grocery budget--check for this week anyway. Last week was pretty much a mess....
Stuck to my meal plan--Last week got all messed up when K's work schedule changed for the weekend. I only cooked on Monday & Tuesday leaving me with three meals that carried over into this week. I think we're back on track now, but next week will be another odd one.
Saved Money--check!   
Finished a home organization project--Nope, but worked on some holiday/Christmas goodies! It's probably going to be all about Halloween from now until it's over. =)
Started a home organization project--Not this week. Pumpkins & crafting took precidence.
Coupons--Check!! All clipped & in the process of getting organzied for the next shopping trip.

Deals of the Week: Oi.....I don't even know!! I'm sure there was something good, but the shopping was so disorganized the last few weeks that I can't even find my receipts. =(

It's funny that things I always have such high hopes for on our meal plan end up being my least favorite & the things I'm not overly hyped up about end up turning out wonderfully. =) Here's how it all went down the last few weeks:

10/12, Friday--Mexican. Dinner out with the BFF. K worked 3pm-6am. Ick
10/13, Saturday--I can't even tell you what C & I ate for dinner. He probably had chicken nuggets & I had popcorn or something. =( K worked another 3pm-6am shift.
10/14, Sunday--C ate dinner at my parent's house & I have no idea what I consumed. Again, probably popcorn. K worked 3pm-9pm.
10/15, Monday--BBQ Pork Ribs in the crockpot with mashed potatoes & corn. Also the day C busted his tooth out. =(
10/16, Tuesday--Crockpot Pork & Beans with cornbread.
10/17 & 10/18--Left-overs
10/19, Friday--Tuna Noodle Casserole, green beans & garlic cheese rolls
10/20, Saturday--Sundried tomato basil chicken with noodles & asparagus
10/21, Sunday--Pork chops with blue cheese gravy, broccoli & garlic cheese rolls
10/22, Monday--Smoked Salmon Alfredo, salad & garlic cheese rolls.
10/23, Tuesday--Chicken Tortilla Roll-ups with Spicy Avocado dip & spanish rice.

=)

I only have our meals planned for the rest of this month & since it's the 26th...that's not good. I need to sit down this next week & get a plan made for the next few months.
