We made it to the grocery store tonight. Doris picked up lots of things not on the list. Lots of fruit, lots of frozen vegetables, a few other random things. She was only asking for healthy things (except for cookies of course) so I let her choose them. But we ended up with a lot of stuff for our relatively short list and spent way too much. Maybe we can hold off on a grocery trip for a while.
We bought stuff for hot dogs since Karen and Doris had been talking about that over the weekend. I made an eight-pack and every single dog is gone! I don't know how we will ever feed a family of four. Karen ate three of them. Doris ate 3.5 of them. And I ate 1.5. Insane. I remember when one pack of hot dogs would last four meals.
I served it with frozen broccoli and some veggie chips that Doris picked up at the grocery store. I also ate leftover green beans and Doris had one cheese stick (something else we picked up at the store...).
Doris only ate proteins. She ate one bite of her hot dog bun, and ate the hot dogs plain. She ate a cheese stick and hot dogs with just a few chips.
We had leftover broccoli for another meal.
Hot dogs: $3.50
Buns: 75 cents
condiments: 30 cents
Broccoli: $1
Chips: 50 cents
Cheese stick: 20 cents
Total: $6.25 ($2.08 per person)
Now that's more like it. So far this week is turning out pretty cheap. Good way to get back on track. Let's see if we can keep it up.
