What is with this Snow!

It snowed again last night... not nearly as much as they said we were going to get (6-8 inches) but it is still cold and the wind is blowing like crazy!


We had an exciting week with Haley's volleyball team! They one their conference championship on Thursday and the game was so exciting!! They won in two games and the best part was that they won against their arch rival!

Back in the Saddle again!

After a two week hiatus from frugal shopping I am back on track. I did my weekly shopping trip this week. Below you will see a picture of the goods. I didn't have to buy any meat this week because we still have plenty in the freezer. So, with the money I would have boughten meat with, I bought some toiletries and cleaning supplies and cat and dog food. I spent $57.43 and I am done for the week. Woo hoo.


There was a great deal on cereal this week. I bought 4 of Haley's favorite (Fruit Loops) for less then $4.00 and then I got 2 boxes of Rice Krispies and 2 boxes of Corn Flakes also for less then $4.00.




This week's menu will include:


MeatLoaf

Pork Chops

Home Made Chicken Strips

Pizza

Taco Ring

Haley gets two choices but she hasn't made them quite yet. I will have to update when she does.


It is about 3:30 here and I have quite a few things left to do before tomorrow. I am going to make homemade bagels for breakfasts this week. I think I will make some cookies as well so we have something to snack on. This past week, I made Pioneer Woman's best ever Chocolate Sheet Cake! It was awesome! We all loved it!


Before I go, I have one recommendation from my grocery shopping today. I love salsa! Not necessarily super hot salsa, I like it to have a kick but I also like to taste all of the ingredients. I had two coupons today for $1.00 of Wholly Salsa, and one of my grocery stores had them on sale for 10/ $10. So I bought two of them for Free! It is the best Salsa I have had in a long time, next to home made. Not super hot but definately a kick and you can taste all of the great ingredients! Try it the next time you have a hankerin' for some Salsa, it won't let you down!
