Day 6 – AYGC

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Another day with no shopping. Just using up what we have on hand: fishsticks and beer-batter french fries, heated in the oven. Simple and yummy.

For the second time this week, I did something head-slapping stupid. While digging through the chest freezer I set something on the clothes dryer (next to it) to get it out of the way and forgot to put it back. Ug! I wasted a bag of pre-cooked hamburger and a tub of cool whip. I really hate it when I do that–I got to a lot of trouble to save money, so throwing it away like that just ruins my day. The only saving grace is that I never pay more than a buck a pound for hamburger and I usually get my cool whip for free after coupons. Still…

Day 5 – AYGC

Friday, July 17th, 2009

No shopping today. All food was from stockpiles.

Tacos for dinner, with some of that hamburger I boiled the other day. Served with leftover white rice and side of refried beans (someone gave me 2 cases of them on freecycle a couple months ago).

I used the last of my ready-to-bake cookie dough for dessert tonight. It was a super deal when I got it a few months ago — on sale for $2.50 with a double-dollar coupon deal, only cost 50ยข. Oh, yum!
