Bad Planning

May 7th, 2006 at 05:20 am

When DH is home it seems like it is too hard to plan anything and we always end up catching meals on the fly. This has to stop though. It is too expensive to keep eating out.

We did McD's, which was $12.01, would have been cheaper but DH had to have the milkshake instead of the soda and that makes it a dollar more. Then we went to my mom's to pick up our son for his soccer game. Our daughter stayed there, she's not playing right now because of the broken finger.

At the soccer park, DH went to get son a hot chocolate ($1.50) and popcorn ($0.50). Well, he came back with a $2.50 bottle of Aquafina for me (didn't ask for, but drank it anyway) and some weird Italian soda thing (it was pink), also $2.50.

After soccer we went to the grocery store and I got enough turkey to divide up for lunches and freeze in week sized amounts, since it was on a really good sale. I'll probably make turkey wraps for me as Tobias only takes cold lunch twice a week, sometimes once. Also bought organic milk, oranges and strawberries (splurging) and a few other items, grocery bill of $70, but we won't spend any money next week on groceries at all, as there will only be 4.5 hours on that paycheck. And all that will go for gas.

I also picked up 2 packets of pole beans, Kentucky Wonder and Kentucky Blue, one I like for eating fresh, the other for canning or freezing. And then I got my mother's day gift a week early. It was a hanging fucshia basket in a color combo I rarely see, white and deep purple. I didn't figure it would still be there next week, and it was on sale. Spent just over $20 for both.

No more shopping this week at all. Not even going to set foot in a store.
