What do you all eat? Sunday, February 10 2013

I do not know about you but when I watch extreme couponing or see the deals that couponers get I always wonder what do they eat? I am going to attempt to post each day what we eat and let you know where it came from and/or the cost. Just for this week. This is a typical week for us except for Valentine's Day. This picture is what my hubby bought with his $20 that I give him to get the things he really wants each week. I think the total was $7.28 used a $2 catalina. I do not include this in my weekly $100 budget. Let's call it entertainment budget since we do not go out very often.

I have very picky eaters with my hubby and oldest so some call me a short order cook.

So starting with Sunday:

Breakfast:

Me - yogurt (yoplait light very cherry) (Vons 10 for $7 but used coupons with Just 4U - can't  remember final price each) with granola cereal (Albertsons brand 2 for $4).

Oldest - Ritz bitz (stockpile - I think it was a buy 4 for $8 deal) Apple juice (Albertsons 2 - 2qt bottles for $4) ocean spray fruit snacks ($1.65)

Youngest - grilled cheese (bread Food 4 Less 3 for $5, kraft amer cheese Albertsons special $1.99, margarine Albertsons brand like Smart Balance), apple juice, fruit snacks

Me, Oldest and Youngest -  pumpkin chocolate chip cookies {homemade (cooked pumpkin from Halloween)}

Hubby - chili (Zaycon ground beef 3/4 of a pound - $3.29 a pound, McCormick low sodium chili mix Food 4 Less $1, 2 cans 14oz tomatoes stockpile - I think they were $.80 each, 1 can S&W low sodium kidney beans $1.50)

Oldest - Kraft mac & cheese (stockpile - I think I paid $.80, made with butter 2 for $4 at Fresh & Easy, milk Albertsons gallon $3.29 I like the flavor)

Totally over again. The boys all know that I am working to do this and I am not buying some things. It is easier for me to go without than to tell them no, I cannot get this. It is especially hard to tell the hubby no. He has sacrificed so much career wise to provide for us. I sure am loving Bountiful Baskets. That is usually all of our produce for a week. The boys love to see what we get and are super excited for strawberries three weeks in a row.


 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. 1 Corinthians 4:13

Read the Bible in 90 days

Have you been wondering how I am doing with reading the Bible through in 90 days/ by Easter? Well, not too good. I am only into Joshua and have read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. My list shows that I am on day 16. If I was reading on schedule I should be on day 31 now and in 2Chronicles. I will check back in a few days to let you know where I am at.
