The Frugal Girl

I can only be pressed about so many things at one time, and right now, my grocery spending is not it. What We Ate Saturday Domino’s had sent me a “free emergency pizza” (I think lots of people got these, because my friend Katy blogged about getting this offer as well!) What did you have for dinner this week?

This Week’s Dinners: Sunday: We went to our favorite local pizza/sub shop for lunch with my parents and grandmother. We all brought home leftovers and that’s what we ate for dinner. Leftover lasagna, salad. Also bookmark the 31 Days to Slash Your Grocery Spending category page so you can check in daily.

What I Spent So I went to pull together my grocery spending for the week and I realized that it’s all quick trips to Safeway. Sunday Leftover sandwiches; they’re great reheated in the toaster oven on the air-fryer setting. Wednesday Leftover chicken quesadillas. We had some raw veggies and fruit on the side.

This series helps me stay on top of our grocery spending and currently our monthly budget is $500 for my family of 4. We dined on pizza, carrots and dip, and Girl Scout cookies for dessert. Thursday: Another busy night, so I made Burrito Bowls with leftover cooked chicken and taco meat that I had in the freezer.

Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. If you don’t think the food in the fridge will be eaten before it goes bad, place leftovers in a freezer container, label, and store in the freezer.
