Brief entry today as it is already past 1:00 am.
David, Breakfast: omelet with cheese/meat filling
David, lunch: shredded pork BBQ sandwiches, tortilla chips
Julia, breakfast: at school
Julia, lunch: I sent leftover chicken soup and a green salad, banana and 1 cookie.
Olivia and I did not eat breakfast or lunch as the church was called to a fast today. We did break that fast before service with some tortilla chips.
Supper for all of us was late; after church. We had hot sandwiches w/provolone cheese. Tuesdays are usually soup days, but we had soup Monday this week.
So...crockpot BBQ pork.
Yes, David ate the same thing for lunch AND dinner.
No, he didn't mind. He loves BBQ and I rarely make it, so he was indulging.
One of my goals this year is to cut my food budget in half. I have been spending around $75/week on groceries for a family of 5. My goal is $40/week. Completely doable with planning and stockpiling when things are on sale.
Also...NO WASTE. What we don't eat, our animals (chickens/pig/goat/cats/dog) can eat. I am always frugal by nature, but am determined to be even more so. There is no reason to throw away perfectly good food because I've allowed it to go to waste due to poor planning. Staying on top of my leftovers and produce drawers is paramount!!
