Project: Food Budget: Week 2

Budget: 70$

Actual Spent: 65.85$

Bought:

• Chicken bites
• 2 frozen meals
• Butter
• Dried pinto beans
• 2 coconut waters
• Salsa
• Enchilada sauce
• tuna
• Linguini
• Mac & cheese
• Red bell pepper
• Cornbread mix
• Fresh jalapeno
• Yellow onion
• Sweet potato
• Broccoli slaw mix
• 1 head of Romaine
• Peanut butter cookies (from the bakery)
• Eggs (1 1/2 dozen)
• Bread
• Chips (tortilla and Sun Chips)

We did it! We stayed under budget! Of course, we only bought food for 6 days this week, but we didn't eat either of the frozen meals we bought so we'll have those around for some other time.

CSA: We missed our work share again this week because we were sick. :( Our Farmer Marie says we might start getting shares again as soon as two weeks from now. Yay!

Meals made:

• Chicken bites and guacamole on salad
• Beans & cornbread
• Enchilada meatloaf: from Healthy Meals for Less
• Leftovers from last week: Risi e bisi, sandwich stuff, and rice & bean salad

What we learned:

• 1. It can be done. We can come in under this new budget.
• 2. It helps if your mom buys some of your food, so go visit! :)
