Menus next couple days

Here are my menus for the next couple of days.  I am shopping my pantry and freezers first and purchasing very little from the store.

Saturday dinner - hot dogs, caramel popcorn (free)
Sunday breakfast - oatmeal
             lunch - visiting a church who has a potluck tomorrow
             dinner - sausage, corn on the cob and grilled zucchini
Monday breakfast - eggs and toast
              lunch - hot dogs
              dinner - Canadian thanksgiving:  turkey, sweet potatoes and green beans
Tuesday breakfast - out for me (craft show)
               lunch - sandwiches
               dinner - leftovers

I will plan more in the next day or two.

And so it starts ......

Yesterday was payday so technically my month has started, food-wise.  This afternoon saw me going to the store for just a couple of things.

Here is what I started with:

$125.00  two week food money
  10.00   some of dh's birthday money
$135.00

The reason dh gave me some of his birthday money for food is that he wanted me to pick up beer for him.  He knows that I don't count that as food so he gave me extra to buy it.  I went to Kroger to pick up the following:

6 pk of beer
pkg of provolone cheese
pkg of hot dog buns

$14.12 out the door.

Left for two weeks:  $121

Oct 2, 2018

Sorry it has been dark the last couple of days.  Dh has had some health issues that I have been trying to help him with.  My month officially starts on Friday with payday.  I still haven't inventoried or meal planned yet but I have a couple of days.  Today started my 15 days of craft shows in 31 days.  I have been up since 4:45 so I could be there by 5:15 to set up.  This is AM folks.  lol   Show ran from 7 am to noon.  Tuesdays are usually very slow so I was tickled that I had some sales.  Hope to be back tomorrow with some planning.
