Week 3 of my no spend month has come and gone with no major inconveniences. Week 4 however is going to be a bit more of a challenge.
After I make a batch of chocolate chips cookies today we will be out of eggs for the rest of the week. The only remaining “fresh” produce we have is 1 butternut squash, 2 sweet potatoes, 1 carrot and 2 potatoes. I MISS bananas and cutie oranges! We do have plenty of berries, plus peas and corn in the freezer and enough broccoli for another stir fry dish so there’s that. And I did open our last can of frozen orange juice concentrate on Sunday, so while nobody is going to get scurvy and time soon, I still miss FRESH fruit and veggies.
Oh wait. I just remembered I have radishes to harvest in the garden. {Yes!}
In other news, the HB’s refrigerator was fixed on friday and so that means all their lovely condiments are gone. Luckily though they left me with a few containers of hummus. 🙂
Milk. Ya. We are down to half a gallon. Good times people. Good times.
