Savings!
I shopped at 4 stores this week, Grocery Outlet, Walgreens, Bartells, and Fred Meyer. I didn’t drive all over the place because 3 stores are in the same area. I wasn’t able to take pictures of my Fred Meyer haul because most of the items were produce and milk, which I put right away. My favorite haul this week was Grocery Outlet’s because I didn’t use any coupons and still saved.
My furry son Riley in the picture is not very happy when I told him that he can’t have nutella because his Vet forbid him to eat chocolate!
Food This Week!
It’s been a long week for us, both the hubs and I are sick this week and we are still recovering from this cold or whatever it is that hit our home. I cannot wait to be healthy again and have a good night’s sleep. Anyways, here’s what we ate this week:
We ate out a couple of times this week too(we set a budget for this every month,so it will not affect the challenge this march/no spend)
Challenge!
I’m joining the No-Spend Challenge at the Living Well Spending Less FB page. It’s great because a lot of families are joining too. I’m grateful that my hubs earns decent money and we are secure financially but with the times right now, one will never know! I really want to increase our emergency fund and savings, this challenge will help us in that area. We have expenses in the coming months, as a homemaker I’m in charge of our budget thus I want to be prepared. My husband is not on board in this challenge yet, and it’s OK. He asked that we still have a budget for eating out because he really enjoys that. The only thing I asked from him is that he will help me STICK TO THE DINING OUT budget. I’ve already given up Starbucks this year and I’m doing well. I had Starbucks last Valentine’s day from the hubs and thats it. I still drink coffee but I make it at home. I’m excited and looking forward to this challenge!
Food This Week!
Another great week of yummy food for us! I wasn’t able to follow my meal plan/menu this week. I’ll probably prepare some this week like the calamari salad (I already have all of the ingredients). Hubby made Soufflé pancakes this morning, and it was good! No left overs (we’re little pigs when we like a certain dish!). He found the recipe from the Food network website and he’ll make it again in the near future (probably next weekend again). It’s been a great weekend for us, we watched Toby Mac’s Hit Deep Tour concert yesterday at the Key Arena and it was awesome! I will probably post about it later this week. Today we just stayed home and relaxed,hubby watched his favorite tv shows and I’ve been reading most of the day! I finally got a library card and rented books and downloaded ebooks. Anyways, here’s what we ate this week:
Food This Week!
We are watching The Walking Dead and the NBA all star game this weekend while I’m writing this quick post. Just having a relaxing Sunday evening with the hubs and Riley (our puppy). We had a good meal this week, especially yesterday because we had a nice dinner at this fancy Seattle restaurant (Il Terrazzo Carmine) and all of the food was delicious! I wish I had a decent camera with me because all of the pictures I took were pathetic! Here’s the food we had this week (these are pictures of just some of our meals, sometimes when I’m too hungry I forgot to take pics!)
Our DInner last night (IL Terrazzo Carmine):
Happy Valentines Day 2014!
I hope everybody had a good Valentines today, spending time with your favorite people! We had a simple Valentines day at home. This will be our 5th Valentines as a married couple, and the last 2 Valentines we spent it at home. We will have dinner tomorrow in Seattle though, so it will be a late celebration. I didn’t ask for any gifts or flowers from my hubs today because I don’t want any of that (reading too many frugal books is rubbing off on me!). We got some Starbucks (BOGO!) and my favorite french fries this afternoon so that was my Valentine “treat” from him! I’d rather have coffee than flowers! For dinner we had chicken cordon blue(we got from our local meat shop) and I roasted brussels sprouts for our side dish. It was good!
Food This Week!
Happy Weekend family and friends! We had a snowy weekend here in the Pacific Northwest! It’s all melting now so we are good this week. The weather forecast says we’ll have rain this week. Hubs and I are sick so we stayed home the whole day and watch our church’s service online. I read and nap most of the day while Hubby played video games and did some work. Just wanted to share what I cooked and our food this week:
We also went out and had dinner at Chipotle,Jollibee(for me)Hawaiian Grill(for Hubby where he had kalua pork)
We went to Seattle last wednesday and had lunch at Pot Belly Sandwich:
I also just want to include my savings this week:
Some of our pics this week!
Books!
One of my goals this year is to read more books. I gave my hubby a kindle last Christmas and we’ve been enjoying it so far and putting it to good use. I do read a lot of Christian homemakers blogs, frugal blogs, couponing blogs. It’s fun learning how others save money, share their homemaking skills, recipes, fashion, time management and home decorating( just about anything under the sun). The month of January these are the books I’ve read:
SUPERBOWL!
Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks for winning Superbowl 48! We are from the PNW so we support the Seahawks all the way. We’re not big football fans (I prefer the NBA, while hubby is not a big sports fan) but we still watch and enjoy football every now and then. This season though we watched all of the Seahawks games, I’m still not over their game 2 weeks ago against the niners(that game was intense!). So tonight as they won their first Superbowl, we can’t help but get so excited and happy for Seattle/WA state. One of my favorites is Russell Wilson our QB. He is a strong Christian and never fails to give Glory to God. He surely deserves the championship. We watched the game at our friends house. They had a huge TV(65 inches),my goodness it was so much fun. Yummy food, great company, Superbowl Championship! What a crazy weekend!
