Manic Monday!

Still doing good with the saving plan...I've stashed cash and I am sticking to what's in my wallet. Hoping for nothing crazy unexpected to come up which probably means it will. Actually made one of the recipes I planned for tonight. It is a little complicated for me especially after working all day, going to bootcamp and then coming home to chop veggies. But, I did it and I think it will be delish if not for tonight but for tomorrow or for my lunch. Joe was home sick, he asked for nachos so I ran by the store for him but that's it. Got the dogs from the vet today on my lunch hour. Owen was crazy but it was so good to see them. I love them so much! It is a beautiful evening. We are all getting spring fever. 8 more weeks til summer is here!

Save $100 per week? Me? Sure gonna try

I've come back from spring break thinking I can really be frugal and save $100.00 out of my weekly cash. I mean with Pinterest and planning meals, I can do this. The boys are hungry. They want to eat all the time so I have to be better about planning dinners. We spend a lot on food each week. It's so easy to get bogged down with every day life stuff and I'm the first to just buy whatever.  But, I can do this! If I save $100.00/week out of my cash, that is $5200.00/year. I can do this! Becky Bloomwood is trying to take over but I keep pushing her out of my mind. I don't need anything new to do this, I can use everything I already have! I'm telling her to shut up! I've found an old journal that I used maybe 3 times. I've made my recipe list and I'm ready for the store. I'm kind of funny about organic meats so I know I'll still be buying those. They do get expensive but they're really so much better for you. I can never go back to eating non organic meats. Here's my dinners for the week.

Sunday- Baked Ravioli (easy peasy & fairly cheap)

Monday- Salsa chicken ( easy ingredients, little prep time...sounds good to me!)

Tues- Track meet...Plan on fast food...Budget about $20.00 for it.

Wed- Arroz Con Pollo- Something new, sounds delish and ingredients are easy and cheap. Love that!

Thur- Beef Burgandy...Boys will love it, they'll think I spent a lot of time on it. Easy prep and will cook all day in slow cooker...love!

Fri- Eat out, get cash again, stash $100.00 aside! Start over planning. I can do this!
