Winter flew back from her holiday visit with her dad on Saturday. She and Jeremy met up with me after work. We went to QFC to get a couple items we needed for dinner. We got a bag of corn chips from the reduced section for $1.49, a bag of shredded lettuce for $1.99, and a dozen donuts from the reduced baked goods for $2.50. The total was $5.98.

We made taco salad for dinner with the chips and lettuce, and added pre-cooked beef, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream.

Dinner: taco salad
Snacks/desserts: donuts, white chocolate peppermint truffle

Friday- Jan 2nd- slowly restocking

We'd had very little food in the house, and hadn't had much time to get more. We kind of needed almost everything at this point. After the bad news we received Friday afternoon, and a long day at work, I was just too physically and emotionally exhausted to do a lot of shopping.

We got the following items at QFC:

3 boxes of cereal ($1.88 each) $5.64
Belvita breakfast cookies (Free Friday Download) $0.00
Lindt white chocolate peppermint truffles $1.65
Diet root beer $1.69
3 lbs clementines $4.99
Red Baron taco pizza $3.50

Total $17.64

In the morning before work I had also bought a banana for $.32 and an Odwalla protein drink for $2.50.

Breakfast: Odwalla vanilla chai protein
Lunch: cheese pizza, banana
Dinner: taco pizza
Snacks/desserts: brownie, white chocolate peppermint truffles
Beverages: water, a little diet root beer

Update

I have been holding off on posting, hoping that soon there would be good news to report. Unfortunately, the short version is that Jeremy has not spoken to his mother at this time, and as of right now she has changed her mind about talking to him. We don't know why she had a change of heart, but we hope she will decide to talk to him some day. She has our contact info. We don't have hers. At this point we're just going to have to put this behind us and move on.
