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.
Breakfast: skipped
Lunch: apple, mango flavored Greek yogurt
Dinner: brown lentils with tomatoes and carrots, brown rice
Snacks/desserts: P3 snack pack (chicken, cashews, and Jack cheese), black licorice, lollipops, snickerdoodle
Beverages: Crystal Light, water

Got home late last night
I usually get home by 8:00 at the latest, but last night I wasn't even leaving the grocery store until after 8:00. I picked up a couple of frozen side dishes to go with the frozen Morningstar Farms BBQ riblets we had already. We didn't eat until around 8:45. I will need to remember to keep a frozen pizza or something on hand for stuff like this once Winter comes back, so at least they can get dinner started without me.
It seems like Jeremy's interview went well, but he won't find out until Monday.
I bought the following at QFC yesterday. I left the chocolate milk, bananas, and protein bars at work. The person before me had left a coupon for $2.00 off your next shopping order at the U Scan, so I used that too. Cool!
1 qt chocolate milk $2.19
Box of 6 protein bars $1.00
4 large bananas $1.28
1 huge nectarine $1.77
Frozen single serve Chili's pepper Jack Mac and Cheese $2.50
Green Giant frozen vegetables $1.00
1 quart of half and half $2.29
2 lbs brown sugar $2.59
2 Yukon Gold potatoes $1.22
Total $15.84
minus $2.00 coupon
$13.84
minus 3% from using GC purchased on Raise
$13.42
The frozen vegetables I bought were the Green Giant antioxidant blend. I normally do not like frozen veggies as I find them to be watery, mushy, rubbery, and lacking in flavor. I really liked these. They are not as good as fresh veggies to me, but I would get them again in a pinch at that price. Normally they are $2.49 for two servings.
The Chili's mac and cheese is actually awesome, I am picky about frozen mac and cheese as well, but this one is worth it. It's super creamy, and the peppers give it a nice flavor, but not really spicy. One container has enough to make a side dish for two people.
Breakfast: chocolate milk, nectarine
Lunch: small amount of leftover chicken teriyaki stir fry, banana, protein bar
Dinner: Morningstar Farms vegetarian BBQ riblet, pepper jack mac and cheese, mixed vegetables
Snacks/desserts: white cheddar with cracked pepper, another protein bar
Beverages: Crystal Light, water
