Have you noticed a dearth of substantive posts here this week? I sure have especially since I had a long list of posts planned to write–like our menu for this week, the next installment in the Becoming A Work-At-Home Mom series, some giveaways, and our financial update.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Wednesday morning and while it wasn't at all as bad as I was expecting the whole ordeal to be, I underestimated the fact that pain would take away my brain power. I don't know about you, but I can't write anything worth reading when I'm brain-dead.
The good news is that I'm feeling much better today and hoping in a few more days I'll be back to normal (and maybe able to eat something besides soft foods again!) so I'll do my best to get things caught back up-to-speed here next week as I know some of you are getting a wee bit antsy for me to get on with the promised posts. Thanks for your patience!
I did all my grocery shopping on Tuesday and here's what we bought:
Above is shown our $20 combined Target and Aldi trip. Read more details along with price break-downs and coupon links here.
And above is our Dillon's (Kroger) trip. I mostly just wanted to do a Mega Event transaction but I also found a few markdowns and used one of my $1.50/2 lbs. of cheese coupons to buy cheese. All totaled, we spent $12.61 at Dillons for the above groceries.
I'm kind of embarrassed to post these pictures as most everything is from a box this week and that's not typical for us. However, I promise we didn't subsist on baby wipes and marshmallows this week!
Since I was down and out half of this week, my family lived on dinners from the freezer and food already in our pantry and cupboards–which is the beauty of buying ahead and buying in bulk.
And me? Well, I mostly have been living on juice, mashed potatoes, yogurt, and cottage cheese–not the most balanced diet ever, but you gotta do what you gotta do when you have oral surgery. It's only been a few days but I am so very ready to eat real food again!
Next week, I hope to be back to a more balanced diet and menu-planning again!
