Monday and Tuesday

The only food I purchased on Monday was before work. I bought a pumpkin donut for $.89, a banana for $.25, and a spinach salad kit for $1.99. We had one more half used up container of spaghetti sauce in the fridge so we boiled some penne pasta and added a couple ounces of mozzarella to finish off the last bits in the bag.

After dinner I made snickerdoodles with cinnamon flavored chips in them. I overbaked a third of them by accident, but Winter ate them anyway. They didn't really taste burned, but they were extremely hard.

Breakfast: pumpkin donut, banana
Lunch: apple, lemon flavored Greek yogurt, spinach salad with pecans, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette
Dinner: penne pasta with leftover spaghetti sauce and mozzarella
Snacks/desserts: snickerdoodles
Beverages: water


Tuesday I worked at the airport until 4:30 and stopped at Safeway on the way home. This is what I bought:

2 lbs brown sugar $1.99
5 lbs all purpose flour $1.88
Black licorice (RFQS) $1.00
Dannon cherry cheesecake dessert (RFQS) $.84
3 flavored yogurts ($.50 each) $1.50
Oat and nut bread $2.50
P3 snack pack $1.67
Bell pepper $1.00
Bag of reduced bananas $.79

Total: $13.19

We also figured out that the honeycrisp apples would be going off sale on Wednesday, so we walked to QFC after dinner and bought a whole lot of them. We spent $25.74 on about 13 and a half pounds. We also bought a half gallon of milk for $1.50 and a bag of Jolly Rancher lollipops from the disco section for $.99 for a total of $28.23. I may regret buying that many apples when it gets to be the end of the month.

For dinner I cooked a pound of brown lentils with three sliced carrots, a can of diced tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and curry. Winter made a couple cups of brown rice to go with it. We have a ton of leftovers. It's very filling.

Lunch: apple, mango flavored Greek yogurt
Dinner: brown lentils with tomatoes and carrots, brown rice
