WIS, WWA | How did my stock-up week go?

What I Spent

I spent:

• $48 at Safeway
• $99 at Aldi

That makes $147 for me, which is not as much as I was anticipating!

Ohhh, but wait. I also spent $40 on a dinner with a friend. Good thing I spent so little last week. 😉

What We Ate

Saturday

This was the night I made the tomato soup I told you about on Tuesday.

Also: we had grilled cheese sandwiches. OF COURSE.

Sunday

I was at the free outdoor concert, so my dinner was a peanut butter and honey sandwich, plus some grapes. I am nothing if not fancy. 😉

Monday

I made a pan of baked pasta, using Barilla protein pasta, and some of my freezer challenge tomato sauce. I also used the Parmesan and mozzarella from the freezer. Yay me!

To add more protein, I also seasoned and sauteed some marked-down thinly sliced beef. And I had cucumbers with my meal.

Tuesday

I caught up with a friend over dinner, and I ordered shrimp and chicken with jalapeño mashed potatoes. It was super good!

Now that I’m looking at this bowl, it’s reminding me of some of the bowls I make for myself when Zoe is at work and I can eat shrimp.

No wonder it looked appealing on the menu!

Wednesday

Zoe was at work, and I was heating up the last of the baked ziti when I realized I could catch a sunset at the park if I hurried.

So, I threw the ziti and my green salad into containers and drove to the park.

It was rather warm, but it was very windy by the water, so I was quite comfortable. 🙂

Thursday

I made a batch of skillet chili with cilantro rice for dinner, and then I packaged it up for my lunches for the next two days.

We also had some watermelon with our chili, and we added some shredded lettuce to the chili bowls (that part is not pictured!)

Friday

I’m at work today and tomorrow, and I have overnight oats made for breakfast, and chili-rice bowls packed for lunch.

Fun fact: I almost always write these posts in reverse, starting with the end of the week and going backwards. It’s the only way I can remember what I ate. Do you do it that way too?
