The food ads for the week are mostly aimed at foods for a Labor Day celebration, which also includes several things I can stock up now for the pantry and freezer.
Again, I was working within the planned meals, for the past 7 days until I wasn't. I guess actions speak louder than words.
Planned for the past week
3. Spaghetti *with meat sauce, tossed salad
4. Asian stuffed lettuce leaves, sliced raw vegetables
In addition to the two planned meals eating out, I forgot to include a club minimum that we had to use by the 31st. We had already planned 2 dinners out, but we would be paying the minimum whether we actually used it or not. I was not willing to let that money go to waste. I booted the spaghetti meal, since I had stored the sauce in the freezer anyway.
As it turned out we had spent only a little over half of the minimum the first time we ordered takeout and had to use the rest Saturday night, and had to stick the ground chicken in the freezer. Both of those meals will be carried forward
Potential meals:
1. Asian stuffed lettuce leaves, sliced raw veggies
2. Deconstructed lasagna, tossed salad
3. Tomato pie, green beans, sliced cucumbers
4. Veggie meal TBD
5. Out to eat
6. Meatloaf, rice, broccoli
7. Labor Day meal TBD, most likely BBQ of some sort
Have a great week staying on plan, going off plan or with no plan at all.
