Sunday: leftover lasagna (from Friday night), garden salad, and cheap, but tasty garlic homemade. I bought another type of white fish that was on sale, but I don’t remember what kind. One of our daughters has had reactions to tilapia, so I stopped buying it. Every week I share what we ate for the week on our budget.

What We Ate this Week: Monday: We went out for dinner to celebrate my oldest daughter’s 11th birthday. Tuesday: We had a lot of pesto ranch chicken leftover from last week , so I cooked some bacon in the oven and made chicken & bacon quesadillas. They were yummy and a great way to use up leftover chicken.

My oldest daughter loves sausage burgers, so when they’re on sale, which is quite frequently, I buy them. I stopped buying farm raised fish a couple of years ago for two reasons: (1) my daughter had a severe reaction to tilapia, and (2) the 60 Minutes segment about farm raised fish–ewwwwww!

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. For me, going to sales is not just a means to find things I need at rock bottom prices, it is also entertainment.

I know the leftover mocha iced coffee won’t go to waste because my daughter loves to drink that! If you don’t have the ingredients or they’re not on sale near you, you could easily print and save the recipes for later use! So I’m going to give it a modified try.
