toddler food night?
hahaha okay, i admit it, i ran out of supplies and creativity tonight.
if you look back at my original shopping list, you'll see i blew through everything except for... drum roll please.... that trusty can of tomato soup!
so for tonight's dinner we had grilled cheese and tomato soup!
and, get this, i found some frozen chicken nuggets in the freezer that i had bought for when my cousin was up visiting with her young kids, and they never ate them, so billy had chicken nuggets too! oh my gosh i made dinner for kindergartners! hey, who cares, our bellies are full and i MADE it! five days of dinners for two on $25 bucks! *curtsy* *curtsy*
so, this week was a great little challenge and i'm definitely going to try to stick to a budget for groceries and be creative with what i have instead of looking in the fridge, going "blah!" and ordering a pizza. i realize that some weeks i'm going to need more groceries than others, like when i run out of my staples, but i honestly think i can do it for under $50 even on those weeks!
i'll keep from boring you with on the cheap blogs everyday about baked potatoes and grilled cheese sandwiches, but when i come up with something clever like chinese take out night i'll be sure and post it.
also, billy and i rearranged the great room tonight and it had a huge effect so i'm going to post a blog probably sunday night about it. there MIGHT be a little painting happening in there sunday afternoon as well! eeep! just a little, but hey it's a step! wait til you see!
