Thanks for the mention.

I do keep uncooked frozen hamburg patties (handmade) in the freeze for hamburgers. The precooked ground beef is for spaghetti sauce, tacos, and any other recipe where crumbled ground beef is required.

I know what you mean. When Jay goes shopping, he doesn’t even look at prices, but when I go I am expected to stay within a bugdet? Huh….? sounds like a double standard to me….!

How are you feeling these days? We really have to get together soon before # 2!

Angela, thanks for the words of encouragement. I do try to look at our budget as a goal. It’s not set in stone. Which is good because in these early days I often feel like I’m moving a boulder mountain trying to make it all work. In a good way. If moving a mountain could be considered good. At least it’s an adventure.

What is it with men and frozen pizza? It’s definitely their comfort food. Every time my husband goes to Trader Joes he buys several.

Don’t be too hard on yourself about weeks that include travel and outings. I think the budgets are good for 90 percent of the time. And allowing yourself one night out per week is not just reasonable, it’ll save your sanity. Even if it’s just hot dogs or takeout.
