Food waste Monday and a menu, week 8/27-92

Pin It

   How's your Monday going? My day started early. We got some stomach bug here over the weekend but it seemed to be mild and everyone is getting better now. I still have an unsettled stomach but nothing serious. 

  Our Internet stopped working again last night and was out half of the day today too. So this morning Hubby called them and yelled because I work from home and rely on our computer for it. Long story short, we got a $50 credit  :) Considering that we only pay $20 a month ( we have a bundle with Verizon - and Hub's work pays for his cell phone), it's 2.5 months of crappy but still free Internet!! So I think it's a good day!

  We did pretty good with our food waste again this week. The only thing I had to throw away are these poor fellas that were hiding on the back of the fridge:


   Yuck!! I don't know how I missed them before. I think, one of them had already started sprouting. Our fridge is actually getting pretty empty because we don't have any money to spend. I had to buy some bread last week (wasn't feeling good enough to bake anything) but other then that I didn't spend any money on groceries. And I plan on staying away from the stores most of this week (and have a big shopping trip on Saturday, Sept. 1st :)

   So this week we are eating out of the fridge:

Mon.- hot dogs, sweet potato fries, cut up veggies from our garden and kale chips
Tues.- simple stroganoff, spaghetti, frozen veggies
Thurs.- chicken kebabs, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli
Fr.- pizza night
Sat.-dinner with friends
Sun.- roast with all the fixings ( bumped from last week)

  What's on your menu this week?

  1. Sorry about the "bug" at your house, hope it is gone shortly. I had to chuckle at the two guys who got lost at the back of your fridge.

  2. Intermittent internet will drive you crazy. It was really bad when my son was taking an online course and it was out at least half the time. I hope things settle down for you soon.

  4. Great job on the credit for the internet. I think we had the same outage - last night and this morning. Drove me crazy - we were trying to find houses and decide whether to make an offer on one and I couldn't get on the internet. If it happens again soon, I will be demanding something in return too.

    1. Yep, last night and this morning!! They drive me crazy. It happens more and more often. I think they just can't keep up with the amount of customers they have because of all of their advertisement and promotions. I think you sjould call them too!!

  5. Way to stick to your food budget and thankfully you won't have to use the carrots to make ends meet!! I am way overspending this month on meat since it is on super sale. Hope to make up the diffrence when the prices start going up

    1. Yeah, thank goodness for our garden :) Just kidding. It's hard to pass meat sales as meat gets so expensive.
