What I Spent
I went to Aldi this week because I needed…everything.
And one of my bags, which is quite an old one from an in-store Athleta purchase, ripped as I unloaded my groceries.
When a bag is mendable, I will always take the time to do a repair. But this one was made of some kind of material that just disintegrated over time.
So, into the trash it went.
I spent:
- $156 at Aldi
- $6 at Safeway
Soo, $162. That’s more than usual for sure, but I was out of a lotta stuff.
What We Ate
Saturday
We had French toast, bacon, and grapefruit for dinner.
Sunday
I was not particularly hungry at dinnertime, so I just had some butternut squash soup and some sauteed broccoli.
The soup is actually…butternut/acorn squash soup, because I had gotten both in my Hungry Harvest box.
Luckily, squash soup is very forgiving, so it all worked out fine.
Monday
A simple sandwich, made with buffalo chicken lunch meat from Aldi.
I’d never bought this before, and it wasn’t bad, but it was giving only faint buffalo chicken vibes.
It was buffalo chicken flavored in the same way that sparkling water is fruit-flavored: BARELY. Like you gotta close your eyes and use your imagination a little.
Tuesday
Frozen cheese ravioli, jarred sauce, and a kale salad on the side.
I know I have said this a million times but seriously, try Gimme Some Oven’s kale salad. It’s such an easy way for me to get a huge bunch of kale eaten all on my own, and it keeps nicely for several days in the fridge.
Wednesday
I was on the phone with Lisey around dinnertime, and she mentioned recently making pancakes.
So then I obviously had to make them for dinner. 😉
Thursday
BLTs! With fruit on the side.
Friday
I am working overnight tonight (and I also worked overnight Monday night and Thursday night this week! Sadly, my unit had some gaps in night shift coverage and I got scheduled to fill them. BOOOO.)
Anyway: I will probably just eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich before I go in tonight.
Night Shift Kristen does the bare minimum in the kitchen.
Happily, I’m back on days for the next two weeks. Whew.
What did you have for dinner this week?
