i have been thinkin' that i really need to do a better job at budgeting for our grocery bill each month. it's interesting to me that, when i send ry to the store, he spends about $25-$50 less than i do... while i would *hate* to ask him to grocery shop each week (haha - i would gladly give him this responsibility), i may have to send him a few times a month so we can have some $$ left at the end of the month! it is a mystery to me b/c i don't think i really overbuy or anything...i stick to a list, for the most part... granted, there are a few items that i see when i shop that i realize i didn't write down but we need, but i'm not piling unnecessaries into the cart... hmmm!
our meals for the week will be pretty basic... i don't really want to spend a lot of time cooking this week, so we will be having leftovers a lot... :) i think i want to do a little experimenting, too...i want to make cinnamon rolls from scratch...and i have a PILE of apples that i need to put into an apple pie or something apple-y. AND, someone's going to be a year older, so we'll have take-out one night to celebrate, too!
here's the plan for the week :)
- Monday: chicken and rice soup (pioneer woman) and corn bread
- Tuesday: pigs in a blanket, mac n cheese, and veggies
- Wednesday: leftover soup
- Thursday: Endzone Pizza :) yummmmm!!!
- Friday: leftovers (pigs, mac, veggies, and soup?)
- Saturday: probably out to eat with friends
- Sunday: leftovers, grill out, or breakfast for dinner :)
ENJOY your week and the first days of November! :)

Grocery bills are incredibly frustrating, though, in our house, if Marc did the grocery shopping, our grocery bill would probably double (and he knows that). Hmmmm....who's birthday is it? Actually, I do know, but I'll wait until the actual day to say anything :)
