So today I crock potted some spaghetti sauce for us. It was a slight combo of a few recipes online, and it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. It seemed to be missing something, flavor wise. But it was filling, so I guess that's what counts.
Hubby and I went shopping for a 'few times' and spent $70 on groceries. This sounds like a lot, but it's for the materials to make 5 different dinners for 4 people over the next couple of days, so I don't thing that's too horrible. Plus $14 of that was on discount razors (normally $8 a bag, we paid $3.50 a bag or so). Oh, and $5 of that was on reusable produce bags, normally $6 for three, I spent $1 for 3. Go discounts! So, that's like, $19 of non-food stuff. And out of the $51 left we spent on food, my chicken was half price, so that's another amount we saved. And the King Sooper's card saved us another $10... hubby and I figure we saved about $55, so we got about $120 worth of crap for $70. Not bad at all.
It is a crap ton of chicken, but it's what was on sale. Oh, and some pork chops for something somewhere as a break. So, yeah, we did okay.
I have a bunch of crock pot recipes for these, and with the stuff I bought, I can do about 6 different meals during this and next week. After which I think I'm going to have issues coming up with something new to make. I mean, seriously... there's only so much I can do with chicken, right?
