Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 6, 2015

Every Friday, I share what we ate for the week on our budget. This Week’s Dinners: Saturday: We were at a swim meet for most of the day, so it was leftover night. Sunday: Day 2 of the swim meet and my sweet mother made lasagna for us for dinner. Currently our monthly budget for my family of four is $500.

Sunday : My oldest daughter had a swim meet all afternoon, so my husband treated us to dinner at our favorite deli. Monday: Tacos. I browned 2 lbs of turkey and used my homemade taco seasoning. I thought I would use leftover chicken from Tuesday, but we didn’t have enough, so I bought a rotisserie chicken for the meal.

Every Friday, I share what we ate for the week on our budget. Sunday: Freezer leftovers. I’ve become more diligent about putting uneaten leftovers in the freezer. So my family had a choice of ham & bean soup, white chicken chili, or chicken & black bean tacos. My hubby had a late dinner meeting.

This Week’s Dinners: Saturday & Sunday: My kids had swim meets on both days. I adapted slightly, because I didn’t have cilantro and chilies and I used my homemade taco seasoning for flavoring. I ate the leftovers for lunch with tortilla chips. This bonus could change at any time to a lesser amount.
