Day 7:

I can't believe it's been a week already!  After we came home from church today, we had lunch and it was interesting to see what everyone chose.  Paul went straight for a jar of pears (there was some grumbling about this; he really misses fresh fruit), nearly everyone else enjoyed some leftover seasoned rice from last night.  It feels good to have everyone use what we already have on hand.

Last night, we were almost out of eggs, so Paul and I went grocery shopping.  We spent $76, and were gratified to see that a solid 50% of that money went to Halloween candy, razor refills and some necessary running supplies.  The rest of our purchases were almond milk, eggs, laundry and dish detergent.  Voila!  SO much money saved!

Tonight, for dinner we are having chili!  I'm pulling out some white beans, and will use some frozen corn, frozen prepared ground beef, and maybe some home-canned chili sauce.  I'm loosely basing it off of this recipe:

But, again, my recipe-following skilz have never been stellar, so there's that. 😊
