WIS, WWA | an FG meetup!

Ok, so, one of my readers is organizing a Frugal Girl meetup in the mid-Atlantic area this summer, and I’m gonna be there!

She made a Google form so that we could collect emails for interested readers, and then we’ll organize the rest of it via email rather than on here. That way you all can feel comfortable that not everyone on the internet will know the time, date, and location. 🙂

We’re gonna do a picnic type of thing, so it’s weather-dependent (we’ll hope for a break in the heat!!) and I wouldn’t plan on traveling a long distance to come, just in case we have to cancel for the weather.

What I Spent

This week, I spent:

  • $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
  • $62 at Aldi

Sooo, $92.

And we did no eating out at all, so yay us!

What We Ate

Saturday

mashed Yukon Gold potatoes

  • some steaks because they were on a good sale due to the upcoming 4th of July holiday
  • mashed potatoes
  • sauteed asparagus

Sunday

  • sauteed tilapia seasoned with some Old Bay
  • leftover mashed potatoes
  • sauteed asparagus (freshly sauteed, not leftover!)

Monday

I ate a tuna melt (handy for trying to meet the protein goal my trainer set for me) and Zoe had a ham sandwich.

Tuesday

On Monday, I had cooked a pork butt for making pork tinga. So when I got home from work, I just needed to do a few more steps to make tacos.

(Brown the pork, then cook it in a sauce.)

But I think in the future I’m just gonna have a heat-and-eat meal because by the time I get home, it’s usually 8:00 pm and I just want to eat, shower, and sleep.

(Zoe was at work until 11 pm and so she ate when she got home.)

Wednesday

Leftover pork tinga, as a salad.

Thursday

I grilled some burgers and we had corn and cherries on the side.

Friday

I’ve got a 12-hour shift today so I’m probably just going to have a sandwich when I get home.

What did you have for dinner this week?
