The Adventures of a Calamari Queen
Christian, Wife, Mommy, Homemaker, Retired nurse, Fur-mama,living a simple and minimal life!
It’s nice to be back from our little vacation and I only shopped for the basics like milk and bread this week. We ate out a lot this week so Hubby and I are not really planning to cook for the rest of the weekend especially since we’ll eat out again this Sunday to celebrate Easter:) So this is what I got this morning after sales and coupons (I used store coupons) I paid $30.
I’m having a little vacation with Hubby this week, celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. We are enjoying this view for the meantime:) Hope you guys are enjoying your week too!
I had some great savings this week with cereals! I was able to print the 4/4 kellogg’s coupon, and earlier this week Safeway had a cereal sale (BUY 8 promo thing),so from original price of $3.99 and the promo sale plus coupon, I was able to get it at $.99 each! SCORE!!! The Nivea lip balm was free because it was on sale for $.99 and I used the $1 coupon. I was a happy shopper:) The Safeway trip was really quick because I had no plans to buy anything else, I just wanted to use the cereal coupons so that left time to go check out Target! Our Safeway and Target are in the same area so I don’t have to drive again just to go to another store (saves gas!) and I’m so glad that I checked Target out because I got a lot of great deals there too.
I’m linking up with Wednesday Weekly Shopping.
I know spring just started but I can’t help but get excited that summer is just around the corner! It was so nice yesterday here in the Pacific Northwest that I decided to grill some burgers. We got the patties from the local meat shop here in Issaquah and to add yumminess to the burger I made caramelized onions and added peppery arugla.
Weekend Pictures! We watched Hunger Games and ate fatty, yummy, greasy food!
I just want to include some of our foodie pics/dinner last week too!
I made this dish last Friday night, and it was simple and delicious. I was kinda worried that I overcooked the pork chop but luckily it turned out just right, moist and tender:) I made garlic mashed potatoes (Paula Deen’s recipe that I got from the food network) and Hubby requested some green beans to go with it:)
Linking up with Lindsey at the pleatedpoppy again for what I wore Wednesday:) I’m excited that Spring is finally here so I can give my boots a rest and look forward to less layered clothing. But knowing Seattle weather, I’m not sure if I can totally give up the boots and sweaters:)
Everything I got this week was on sale! We had already finished our meal shopping for this week so I only bought the essentials like milk and fruits. The cheese is just a bonus because it was on sale this week too. Tillamok is regularly priced at $3.65 but they’re on sale for $1.25!
Another fun weekend with Hubby! Date night on Friday (dinner at Wild Fin then watched the movie 21 jump street). Saturday, we had dinner at my In-laws. I had the best corned beef ever (my DIL prepared corned beef just because it’s St. Patricks day) then we bought some cupcakes at our fave cupcake shop here in Issaquah (Confetti Cupcakes). Sunday we watched the PNB’s performance of Snow White then dinner at some weird Seattle restaurant named Unicorn!
We had a lot of left over from our chili this week and ended up adding it to our hotdogs and sweet potato fries. We love sweet potatoes in our house, doesn’t matter if it’s baked,fried, or steamed! We always have them around:) Hubby made the sweet potato fries and home made aioli sauce, it was delish:)
