Wow, I can’t believe the grocery challenge is already over! So how did everyone do? I can’t wait to submit my entry and hear about everyone else’s. In the mean time, here’s what we ate for the final weekend of the challenge:
Breakfast: Cereal
Lunch: Leftover pork chops & rice:
Dinner: Hot Dogs & salad – quick and easy!
Saturday’s menu –
Breakfast: Cereal
Jai was at a family reunion potluck all day, so he had his meals there while I ate at home. I would have attended also, but I had to work. 🙁 As Jai’s contribution to the party, he took a salad which I made from ingredients in the fridge and a jar of peanuts from the stockpile.
Lunch: A hot dog covered in a cheese slice and a fruit snack.
Dinner: A stir-fry made from the last bits of leftover pork chops and produce. It’s amazing how far you can stretch leftovers!
Sunday’s menu –
Breakfast: I think I skipped breakfast? Jai had his pick from the breakfast staples in the pantry.
Lunch: I made one more stir-fry with the remaining pork and more veg.
Dinner: We have a lot of family in town this week, and since we have a guest staying with us I had planned on making hamburgers for dinner. However, an aunt invited the whole family to dinner at her house, so we enjoyed a barbecue at her place instead.
For snacks this weekend, we enjoyed a lot of popcorn, because I was reviewing some for Contest Corner!
And I have a few purchases to report: On Wednesday, Jai picked up coffee & coffee filters for $10.07. The challenge doesn’t count household items, but I am counting coffee filters as a food expense since I need them to make coffee with! On Thursday, we got two iced teas from McDonalds’ for $2.00. On Friday, Jai picked up hotdog buns for $2.49. And yesterday, we got a quart of half and half and hamburger buns for $3.79. This brings our final total for the week to $36.34. That makes our grand total for the grocery challenge 171.13.
