Day #9 of my grocery saving challenge

November 20th, 2011~Sunday

Today is election day in Spain. Thinking of election day reminds me how our governments are in so much trouble for careless spending. They let million or billions slip through their fingers and we all suffer the consequences. If I didn’t believe it was the same in our households I wouldn’t be so careful with my spending but I see  how the pennies turn into dollars just by ‘tweaking’ a few things around the house.  I’m convinced that  we can eat well and not spend a ton of money. I might add that this is probably a cultural issue too. For those of us who live in prosperous countries, waste is more acceptable than it is in poorer ones. We’ve lived in both and never is to me because, the greater issue is stewarding our resources.

Breakfast:

Leftover quiche

Toast

Lunch

Left overs~ anything in the fridge. Unless we have friends over for a meal, we eat leftovers on Sunday because we arrive home from church really hungry. It also gives me a fresh start to my week.

Dinner

Leftovers again

salad

Stores are not open in Spain except for the 1st Sunday of the month ½ day. I have had 9 days without buying one single thing at the market! Sunday evenings I enjoy planning my meal for the upcoming week.
