What I Spent I spent: $30 at Lidl $16 at the Hispanic grocery store $30 on pizza So, $76 for me this week. Sunday Zoe had a night off of work, so the three of us went out for pizza and then went to Target, where we did some clothes shopping. Zoe was at work. But then when we got to the fitting room, it was closed!

Monday An oft-repeated meal of late: I grilled chipotle chicken kebabs and we ate them on a green salad, with the accompanying sauce as a dressing. Tuesday Halloween night: Zoe was out with friends (I think they ate pizza?) A simple green salad on the side. Toasted croissants on the side.

Tuesday So green! We got some frozen pizzas. I had something called a mango pancake, which is sort of a weird name for what it is: fresh mango and whipped cream rolled up in a mango wrapper. I think the wrapper is sorta like a crepe, so that’s probably why it’s called a mango pancake. Thursday Leftover tacos.

Sunday I remember that Zoe ate a frozen French bread pizza. To back up: Zoe wasn’t feeling well, so I offered to bake a frozen pizza for her. So that’s when I switched to the French bread pizza for Zoe. But I cannot for the life of me remember what I ate. But I burnt that thing so badly. It was decidedly inedible.

It’s scrambled eggs, cheese, greens, avocado, and whatever sauce I have on hand, all in a whole wheat wrap. Wednesday This was the evening I mentioned yesterday; Zoe’s friend had to cancel on her, so we got pizza and watched Pride and Prejudice. Tuesday I don’t know what to call this…a scrambled egg burrito?

Sunday I made some Dinnerly green enchiladas, which were supposed to be vegetarian. Tuesday I made a Dinnerly meal, which was Mediterranean beef pita pizzas: Zoe and I both liked these (sorta like an easy gyro), so I’ll probably put this meal idea into our rotation even if I don’t get it straight from Dinnerly.

Shelley joined us for our viewing of Emma Sunday Zoe had a friend get-together for New Year’s Eve, and they all ate pizza. I think I might be better off buying a bag of salad greens and then adding my own toppings. I’m trying to remember what I ate! I think I did one of my frequent egg + veggie skillet meals.

Tuesday I pulled out a frozen pizza and that was our dinner. I often start my day with scrambled eggs and a side of greens!) Zoe had a quesadilla when she got home from a shift that ended at 9:30 pm. Chiquita had kibble, and also some salmon pate.

What I Spent This week I stopped in at Lidl and I bought a pretty large container of greens. And I am proud to say that I have single-handedly eaten almost the entire container, largely by eating a bowl of greens with my breakfast. I made a green salad on the side. Halving it worked great for just the two of us!

The big game is right around the corner, and I am in full menu planning mode! Wings, pizza, and are all great, but I crave something light and fresh to go with it – like this shrimp and avocado salad! If you plan on making this ahead of time, I would add everything but the avocado and keep it refrigerated.

Frugal Luxuries

For several years now I've been motivated to action when reading her classic, tried-and-true frugal tricks and tips as she menu plans, money manages and enjoys the luxuries of a simple life with her family. Terri's down-to-earth writing and ability to get the necessary tasks done seem to push my own 'get moving' button!
