Sunday Storage

I don't think this is a comprehensive list of everything I've used up, but here's what I remember (and what I can see missing from the pantry): 1/2 pound black beans all the jasmine rice some pasta all the couscous (Moroccan) all the bread flour (got more though) 1 jar of sourkraut most of the matzo

Saturday Spending

Well, I finally broke my long streak of not going to the grocery store. Strangely, it wasn't actually oranges that finally made me go. It was bread flour. I don't know how to function without flour. Though of course, while I was there I figured I might as well pick up another orange. I'd honestly forgotten what my budget for the summer was, so I had to go look. Apparently it's $40 per month. Do y'all remember us deciding on that? I didn't. I also didn't remember that I said eating out would be included in my food budget, as per how things were done last summer. Well, that part's just not going to happen. I've developed this terrible, albeit fun, habit of eating out with my workout partners after we leave the gym.

Food Waste Friday

I've really been neglecting you all again, haven't I? I'm very sorry. This all started with me going out of town, and then somehow I got side tracked by all sorts of wonderful life distractions: working on a frugal eating book, excessive amounts of time spent swimming, and my social life in general. It's summer, and my class doesn't start for a couple more weeks so I have totally been goofing off. Despite all this goofing off, I've still been diligent about food waste. Since I last reported, I wasted: 1 tomato

Food Waste Friday

It was a good week in the waste department. This week I wasted: NOTHING!!
