Pizza again??

On the menu tonight: BBQ chicken pizza. Again. As in, for the second time this week. Sorry Jeff. Actually, we both thought it was pretty darn good the first time I made it so hopefully it will be bearable this time even though we had it a couple days ago. I am completely out of grocery money for the week. I've been struggling to come up with meals for the past few days (besides pizza, we had pannukakku and leftovers). Jeff keeps looking in the fridge saying "Wow, Adrian, Mom must be magic." I have gone over our grocery budget way too much over the summer so now it's time to get serious again. This pay period I ended up dipping into grocery money for other things that we hadn't budgeted for and that literally couldn't be avoided. When I look back over the past 2 weeks I am actually impressed that I have been able to get supper on the table with the amount of money I actually spent on groceries. That means these next 2 weeks should be a breeze for meal planning and grocery shopping!



I did my half-marathon on Saturday and since then I have done nothing. I think I went for a walk twice but that's it. I'll be getting up to run with Kate tomorrow. I think we both agree that we feel like lazy farts this week after training all summer!

Love the new bag! And isn't it funny what you can come up with for supper when there's nothing in the cupboards?!!

Great job on the 1/2 marathon! :) I admire you!

haha on the pizza twice in one week. When you are determined you can always get supper on the table even if you have no groceries. And I think it's totally worth it! I'd have no problem eating pizza 7 days a week to pay off debt or stay out of it.

I'm trying to be better about my grocery budget also after slipping up all summer. It requires a lot more planning and a lot more bread as a side/filler.
