Menu Monday #20 & Weekly Shopping Trip
Menu Monday #20
After a crazy week last week that ended with some serious menu adjustments, I am happy to say I believe this week should be fairly smooth sailing despite the virus some of us seem to have. The jello is already made, menu is set and I am grabbing groceries later today.
I finally began using my Kindle Fire to keep lists on and the results have been AMAZING. I will share more on why I like it so much soon.
This week isn’t expected to be super busy besides pet visits and babysitting, so I planned a few more time consuming meals full of comfort foods. It isn’t quite fall temps but we are beginning to enjoy our fall foods anyway? How about you? Are you experiencing the exciting foods of fall? Look for new recipes? I know we are and I absolutely LOVE the cream cheese icing recipe we used last week.
Check out our Fall Food Pinterest Board and discover even more from warm, cozy drinks to delicious casseroles and desserts, I know we plan to. Let us know which ones you enjoyed and which ones to avoid!!!

This week’s shopping trips totaled only $104.25 + $13.98 for hubby’s monthly coffee at work. We will be grabbing a few more loaves of bread, and one gallon of milk for another $6.00, but other than that I expect this to be the sum total of our grocery expenses this week. Happily, keeping it under our weekly budget of $125. YAY!!!! I wasn’t quite sure we would make it since I chose to replace some expired baking supplies AND missed the date for some 3 day sales and coupons. Once I realized my mistake I adjusted our shopping list to accomodate the higher costs. I bought less meat and chose to skip some higher priced baking items I knew could wait.
