We bounce from normal to not-normal weeks around here quicker than most people… well, I don’t know quicker than what. But it’s pretty darn often. This week we are off to the UP. (That’s the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for you non-Michiganders.) That means lots of eating out. Yay, to a break from cooking. A much bigger YAY to no dishes. Let’s see what we’ll be eating before we leave…
Monday: pasta and egg round-up (cook pasta, toss in scrambled eggs and whatever else looks interesting)
Tuesday: pizza (we’ll miss pizza Wednesday, plus I have dough in the fridge)

Our budget was $80, we spent…
Trader Joe’s – $28.76
Sprouts – $16.71 (used bag credit = $0.05)
Yay, for small budget weeks. Of course, this goodness is inversely proportionate to how much we will be spending while away. I am packing as much as I can in snack food for our flight though. It’s a good thing yogurt raisins are not considered liquid or gel.

Now, excuse me while I go pack 12 suitcases and 4 carry-ons for our 5 day trip.
