I didn't have time to grocery shop until after my acupuncture appointment last night, which was right after work, so I didn't get home until 8:30. We had to make do with whatever food was still in the house from before we left.
I packed Winter a lunch with broccoli florets, honey mustard pretzels from the airplane ride, a tube of strawberry Greek yogurt from the freezer, and a wrap made with ham, provolone, and mustard on a flour tortilla.
I also made chili in the crock pot, which was interesting since we were out of so many things I use to make chili. It had half a lb of black beans, two 6 oz. packages of pre-cooked spicy ground beef, 3 7 oz boxes of tomatoes sauce, the rest of the garlic and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Jeremy said he'd run to the store if it still needed seasoning. It actually turned out pretty good, and didn't need anything added. It wasn't as thick as usual, but the flavors were fine.
I also wound up buying a banana and a muffin for $3.48 at Starbucks to tide me over.
Breakfast: smoothie made with milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, and a squeeze of honey
Lunch: banana, two tubes of Greek yogurt from the freezer, smoked turkey and cream cheese rolled up in a tortilla
Dinner: chili with shredded hot pepper jack cheese
Snacks/desserts: cranberry apple bran muffin, Butterfinger ice cream
Beverages: water
I went to QFC after my appointment to replenish the fridge and pantry. We'll try to get to Grocery Outlet soon for the things we always get there as well, like lunch meat and canned tomatoes.

A really long Thursday
Thursday I had an appointment at a nearby massage school for a student clinic session right after work. This school only does student clinic sessions every few months, but they only cost $10 so I jump on it when I can. Afterwards I went to the grocery store. I left before 10 am and didn't get back until 10pm.
I set up the crock pot before I left with 1 1/2 cups of dried pinto beans, which I had started soaking the night before, 1 can of petite diced tomatoes, 1/2 a green bell pepper, chopped, and 3 turkey sausages, sliced. The turkey sausages gave it plenty of flavor so no other seasonings were added. After leaving for work I realized my lunch was going to be a bit light for the long day ahead of me. so I stopped at QFC and bought two hard boiled eggs for $1.99 and a banana for $.25.
After my massage session I went to QFC to pick up more bread, milk, fruit and veggies, and some really good sale items: fancy pasta and Greek yogurt. I got three lbs of cavatappi, two lbs of fettucini, and one pound of another kind of noodle I had never seen before. Cavatappi makes the best macaroni and cheese. I may go buy more of just that one before the sale is over, because it's usually way more than I am willing to spend.
A little over 4 lbs of honeycrisp apples $10.63
6 lbs of assorted pasta shapes ($.79 ea) $4.74
6 flavored Greek yogurts ($.39 ea) $2.34
2 1/2 lbs of bananas $1.80
1/2 gallon 2% milk $1.50
Buttermilk bread $2.79
1 1/3 lbs broccoli $1.30
Total spent $29.10
What I ate:
Breakfast: banana bread, coffee flavored Greek yogurt
Lunch: leftover veggie alphabet soup, two hard boiled eggs, banana bread, carrot sticks with hummus, banana
Dinner: pinto beans with turkey sausage, tomatoes, and peppers
Snacks/desserts: champagne grapes
Beverages: water

Sunday and Monday
Lately any time I try to update my sidebar from my tablet it makes my browser crash. Annoyed because it used to work fine.
We finished up the last day of the month with a total spent of $339.72, which is $.28 under goal. It wasn't too horribly painful toward the end of the month. We had plenty to get what we needed. Sunday evening I picked up a carton of mint chip ice cream on my way home from work for $2.50.
Sunday's food:
Monday: Honey Bunches of Oats with milk
Lunch: leftover chili mac, banana, protein bar
Dinner: peanut butter sandwich with raspberry jam, leftover alphabet soup
Snacks/desserts: mint chip ice cream
Beverages: water
Winter ate leftover chili mac for lunch as well. For dinner she had a sandwich, and she roasted the tiny potatoes from the window box with pepper and olive oil. She said they were good. She also had ice cream for dessert.
Monday, Winter and my friend Joel went to PAX Prime. It's a big deal videogame convention in Seattle. We live three blocks from the convention center. Winter had earned a bunch of money cleaning the house in the last week, but she didn't wind up finding anything she wanted to buy. She got a few things they were giving away for free though.
Jeremy and I went to the store in the morning. We bought the following:
Bottle of water $.79
Two bottles of store brand soda ($.69 each) $1.38
Pint of chocolate milk $1.39
Bag of fun size Nerds candy $.99
One banana $.27
Four apples RFQS $.99
Broccoli crown $1.07
Red leaf lettuce $1.25
Heirloom tomato $1.60
Dill pickle slices $2.99
1/2 lb deli ham $4.41
1/2 lb peppered turkey breast $4.90
6 oz provolone $3.12
3 oz salami $1.26
4 boxes of protein bars ($1.00 each) $4.00
4 red velvet cupcakes RFQS $2.15
7 brown bananas RFQS $1.61
Loaf of nine grain bread $1.88
Bag of sour cream and onion kettle chips $2.00
Total $38.05
I made lunch with sandwiches, fruit, chips, candy, and drinks and took them down to the convention center to meet Winter and Joel. We have lots of sandwich stuff left over for lunches. All the chips got eaten though. I went to work for five hours, and we made teriyaki chicken with broccoli and quinoa for dinner when I got home.
Breakfast: chocolate milk
Lunch: sandwich with turkey, provolone, tomato, lettuce, pickles, Dijon, and lite mayo, an Apple, and chips
Dinner: teriyaki chicken with broccoli and quinoa
Snacks/desserts: fun size Nerds, red velvet cupcake with mint chip ice cream
Beverages: root beer, water
Jeremy had his first workout with his new trainer. Todd has been a heavy weightlifting coach for 30 years. They did deadlifts yesterday and Jeremy said he got his ass kicked.
