Day # 12 My Grocery Savings Plan

Oct 31, 2009 by pearsonsprogress    No Comments    Posted under: Grocery Challenge, saving money

Day12 and  I have spent a total of 19,50 euros for the past 12 days.

I baked lasted Thursday so I have plenty of bread, cinnamon rolls, coffee cakes and peach turnovers. Our guest left after lunch and I’m still left with:

9 eggs

10 apples

3 potatoes

1/3 of a zucchini (I cut off a small piece to add to my soup today)

1 tomato (since I pick 1 roma tomato and 3 cherry tomatoes from my ‘almost gone’ summer garden, I still have not run out!)

The truth is, I feel so RICH! There is always plenty of good food here and I enjoy the management of the kitchen and the planning of my meals. I guess I’m just like every other homemaker out there… we just love our job!

Breakfast:

scrambled eggs

toast

homemade sausage (I always have sausage on hand because I make it and then can it in jars… sealed under pressure)

french toast with syrup (I brought back some pancake syrup from the USA last time we were there)

orange juice

Dinner: (Guest here)

1st plate: sausage & white ban soup (using the leftover sausage from breakfast, the broth from the chicken & sausage that I canned and then saved when I opened the jars, kale from my garden)

Chicken filetes

French Fries

Green Beans

Salad

Bread

Cupcakes

Supper:

Tonight we are going with friends to a FREE concert with traditional hymns to celebrate the Reformation. Happy Reformation Day!! We will probably just eat some leftovers in the fridge before we go out.

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
