Skipped the grocery

February 11th, 2013 at 02:09 pm

This weekend was notable because I skipped grocery shopping. I didn't want to put any last-minute spending on my humongous Discover account, and I felt there was enough to get me through the week.

Amazingly, I even hosted a lunch and made a birthday cake from scratch!

Now my fridge is looking a little bare. The grandsons finished my almond milk. I ran out of wine and creamer. I used up cheese, vegetables, salsa, and evaporated milk in soup. Many condiments are running low.

I think most of my suppers this week will be grilled cheese. Not because I have no imagination, but because I need to use up the skim-milk American slices that have passed their sell-by date. I figure they are good for a week, at least, and I intend to eat them. They cannot be frozen.

I also have some chicken thawing, so I'll need to eat that this week, too.

My lunches are set -- there are plenty of individual frozen servings of leftovers in the freezer.

But I think there will be a big Aldi trip coming up this weekend!

    I'm looking in my cupboard and fridge before I shop again this week. I think we could have a grilled cheese and salad night. I know I have eggs...so breakfast is also high on the list. It is kind of fun to make 'something' out of what can be perceived as 'nothing'!

    We are getting and Aldi where I live. I am excited even though the store looks very small. The are also building a Sprouts and Whole Foods. Great job and using up things that you already have around the house.
