| Southwestern Stuffed Peppers |
I went grocery shopping yesterday. I spent 24.58; here's what I bought:
- 5 lbs onions
- 5 lbs carrots
- Peeled Garlic
- Collard Greens
- 5 lbs potatoes
- Green Beans ( I scored 2 lbs for 1.00 from the reduced produce bin! )
- Cilantro
- Summer Squash
- Jalepenos
- Canned Chipotle
- 2 lbs Brown Rice
- Lemon Juice
- 1 lb Chickpeas
- 1 lb Split Peas
- 1 lb White Beans
I am going to attempt to quit coffee. I have enough left for several pots and will start gradually reducing how much I drink. I drink two big cups a day at this point. As much as I love coffee, it is too expensive to fit into my budget, plus I want to give my body a break from caffeine
My menu yesterday was pretty simple.
Breakfast: Green Smoothie ( collards, chia, oats, banana )
Lunch: Southwestern Stuffed Peppers with Sunflower Sour Cream
Dinner: Rice Pasta with Marinara, TVP, Raw Slaw
Our local ethnic store ( Lo's ) has rice pasta for $1.19 a package which is a great deal. I have 2 packages of rice pasta in my pantry which will definitely come in handy in the future. I went through my freezer yesterday and I do have a nice stock of frozen bananas. My local Market Basket has them on sale 3 lbs for 1.00 about every 6 weeks or so and I buy a bunch to freeze. I have all the makings for my Sugar Free Banana Bread, so stay tuned for that delicious recipe!
Don't give the coffee!! Anything but that! I think I'd give up food before I'd give up my precious java. :-)
ReplyDeletewhere did you go shopping for this list ? I am sure this is an old post but I am actually getting more friendly with your site. I really like the tight budget and everything since I am in school still and no living on my own.
ReplyDeleteI shopped at Market Basket in Portsmouth, NH. I still shop mostly at Market Basket, but now in Brockton, MA. I'm a huge fan. The prices are higher now than they were then, but I can still find great deals many places. I moved to Boston from NH a little less than 2 years ago..
