We spent a lot of money the last few weeks on camping and hunting equipment. Hobbies are expensive. To get back on track, we're doing another fiscal fast - a spending freeze. Ian took my car to work instead of the truck. The gas mileage in the camry allows him to commute the whole week on one tank of gas. Whatever is in your fridge, pantry, medicine cabinet, has to last until the week is over.
Lucky for us, we have plenty of packaged frozen meat in our deep freezer. But the side items were hard to come by. Tuesday we had chicken and canned black beans. Wednesday, we had chicken and mac n' cheese. Thursday we had beef stuffed peppers and rice (I had fresh bell peppers from Sams Club the week prior). Yesterday, Ian took a whole chicken out of the freezer so tonight we'll roast that. I have about 5 little red potatoes left from last week that we will throw in with the chicken and call it a night.
Lunch was a little harder. I was all excited about the 2/3 loaf of bread in the bread box - egg salad, tuna salad, grilled cheese.....I took it out Tuesday and it was covered in mold. Ugh. We were also out of crackers. We ended up making salads topped with leftover chicken from the previous night's dinner. One day I think I ate a can of peaches and some string cheese for lunch.
