Well folks there are seven days left of August. It's very chilly here today and while summer is certainly not over there's a clear and present reminder of autumn's near arrival in the air. I'm hoping to take advantage of the cool weather and go for a hike in the sand dunes with little Abe after his nap today.
Today should also consist of washing laundry, cooking tomatoes, picking tomatoes, eating beans (from the garden), cleaning up around the house, and I really really want to go through the cupboards and see how far out I can ride the food we have and what random items will be needed to further ride out the food we have. I'm not trying to imply that we have a lot of food in the house. But I know there are several different meals worth of fixins and I can really hit budget this month as long as I continue being very strategic.
Spending rundown today: $1.79 on a coffee from McD's before work.
My budget for the month is $436 which leaves $129.47
Average daily spending for 2015: $17.97
Tomatoes, tomatoes! They are my favorite food and I love them! Plus they are so much better when they're homegrown. I always have the ingredients for spaghetti. It's the one standby that everybody loves.
ReplyDeleteMy son and I LOVE spaghetti and I've so been enjoying making it with our tomatoes, yum! My husband isn't a fan of noodles, not because he doesn't like them but he just doesn't like how "carby" they are. So he doesn't like spaghetti or mac'n'cheese. What can I say, he is quirky :) but we love him!
DeleteOther than laundry & cleaning up, sounds like a good day :) I am also not a big fan of pasta - but it is cheap so we east it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I LOVE pasta. I don't eat it all the time (I did when I was in high school) but I LOVE it!
DeleteWe didn't end up going for a hike. I was trying to find someone to go with me and the kiddo but didn't find anyone. We might go tomorrow. I really want to go before it warms up again. A hike through the dunes with a strong cold wind is always VERY invigorating! Oh, I did the other stuff though, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes!
I still don't have ONE tomato, but my plant is getting bigger every day :( Darn that boy for frying my veggies.......
