I thought for sure I'd go over budget this week but I couldn't pass up the deal on the steaks. In the end, I came out a little under budget. I didn't shop on Tuesday this week because of flooding rain all day. So, I went to four stores today. HEB had Steak-umms advertised for a dollar per 9-ounce box but naturally they were sold out. I did get a raincheck and hopefully they'll have them in stock next week.

I bought the canned bean sprouts today just in case I can't get fresh ones at Food Town next Tuesday. I like to put them in my Quick Asian Pork Stir-Fry.

I bought all of the fresh produce to make my Grandma's German "Potato" Salad today but with cauliflower, of course. I'm looking forward to it. Her salad was a family favorite when I was growing up. It's not like the traditional sweet and sour vinegar type German potato salad. Hers has a sour cream and mayonnaise dressing with bacon and lots of parsley and green onions. She served hers hot but I'm going to serve mine as a cold salad. We'll also have some apple and Gouda smoked sausages with the salad.

GRAND TOTAL FOR THE WEEK - $60.41 (over budget by $.41)

I went over my budget by 41-cents because I bought three bottles of Heinz sugar free ketchup at Dollar Tree. I'd read on Low Carb Friends that Dollar Tree was selling it there because Heinz has changed the bottle and/or the label and needed to clear out the old stock. I usually make my own ketchup but I thought it might be handy to have a few bottles of ready-made ketchup on hand. With Jerry eating low carb now, we'll probably go through ketchup a lot faster than if I was the only one eating the sugar free kind. He likes a little meatloaf with his ketchup and I just made meatloaf yesterday.

I didn't really need a whole pound of sliced ham. I'm going to use 8 ounces next week to make lasagna but the only 8 ounce packages they had were the kinds with too many carbs or they weren't rectangular. I like to use the large rectangular slices for my "pasta". I'll just freeze the other half of the package for the next time I make low carb lasagna.

I don't buy pickles very often but I plan to make a low carb version of my Grandma's German potato salad next week and she always put some Claussen pickle juice in her dressing. They're expensive but at least I had a 75-cent coupon for them. Hopefully I'll get a good price on cauliflower for the "potato" salad when I go to Food Town next Tuesday. I'll also buy the green onions and parsley for the salad that day.

I wasn't in desperate need of another juice bottle but I couldn't pass up getting a nice Rubbermaid one for around a dollar. I use that kind when I make my sugar free drink mixes and I also keep one filled with filtered tap water in the fridge all the time. It's easier to pour water from that bottle than directly from my Brita pitcher. I keep that full and in the back of the fridge to refill the smaller bottle as needed.

Tuesday's Shopping



I didn't buy much today at Food Town or HEB, but I stopped at the "other Kroger" to stock up on my favorite CARBmaster yogurt flavor. I also got a "Cinnamon Roll" and a "Black Forest Cake" just for a little variety. They're not my favorite flavors but I can't get them at my regular Kroger.

SUNDAY:
Leftover Salsa Sausage Quiche
Leftover pork roast (if there is any)
Leftover Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers

FRIDAY:

About half of the stuff that was on this week's menu got pushed to next week because we have too many leftovers from earlier in the week. This happens most of the time so my menu is constantly being adjusted as the week goes by. I made the pork roast on Monday and there's still enough for at least a couple more days even after I froze some of it.
