$5  Fast Food Lunch

$115 Groceries

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know how many days of groceries MH bought.  Probably just enough to get through the weekend.  I don't think he really wanted to do a big grocery run but he also didn't make it to the store last weekend. 

Note:  There's $75 left in our grocery/household budget for this month.  Sounds like there is a 0% chance we will stay below $800 this month, mostly due to all of my grocery runs.  It probably didn't help that MH threw some last minute meal planning at me (He is the grocery/meal frugal master.)  Oh yeah, and all the Target orders.  Typing that out makes me feel better about feeding MM(21) for one week next month (Thanksgiving break).

I stopped for a soda on the way to work today (later) and reasoned I should just get some hash browns to go with it.  But I guess the menu switches over at 10:30 (that's news to me).  Which is great because I much prefer the fries.  So I got some fries to supplement my lunch. 

MH picked up meat on sale.  I cooked some hamburger patties after MH made dinner.  It sounds more appealing (for lunch tomorrow) than chow mein 3 days in a row.  The real question is if DL(19) will eat it all after I go to bed.  One of the last times I cooked up a 1/2 pound of meat, he ate it all in one sandwich.  Well, I do think that chow mein 3 days in a row sounds more appealing than going to another store or restaurant. So there is that.  (I don't think DL particularly likes my chow mein, but we will find out.)

I spoke too soon about MH's schedule opening up.  He was invited very last minute to a lunch out with friends from the work place we met at (in 1995).  I thought this sounded crazy.  There's nowhere to park near this place, he has to take the day off work, etc.  Um, just say no!?  But I guess one of them is visiting from out-of-state.  Fair enough.
