Well, it's officially one week until we leave for England for two weeks! We decided to use up as much food we already have and buy as little as possible. This is one of those three-week grocery periods, so we ran out of grocery money. So it's especially fortuitous.
Here's our grocery list! It's less than a quarter as long as usual:
4 baking potatoes
whole milk
vegetarian burger crumbles
4 apples
2% milk
bread
4 ears corn
EB sticks (butter)
4 zucchini
3/4 cup walnuts
strawberries
salt
mangoes
parsley
cherry tomatoes
garlic powder
baby bellas
parmesan
macaroni
Florida Crystals
And our menu:
Friday dinner
spaghetti w/spinach-tomato sauce; garlic bread
Saturday lunch
Baked potatoes & "waldorf" salad (apples, lettuce, walnuts)
Saturday dinner
Veggie burgers, baked beans & corn on the cob
Sunday lunch
Mother's Day brunch out
Sunday dinner
Mac & cheese & cross-hatch zucchini
Monday
Sloppy joes, fries & strawberry-mango salad
Tuesday
Grilled cheese sandwiches, chix nuggets & cherry tomatoes
Wednesday
Easy pasta & sauce w/baby bellas
Thursday
eat at airport
Nice! This means we can probably bring at least $300 of grocery money to England to help pay for food there, without disrupting our regular grocery budget.
