Ahhh okay. I was thinking it was future month. Forgot maybe it was past lol



They say you are but i never do lol



Good idea

I started the menu early in married life. It keeps me from buying a bunch of things that eventually spoil in the fridge. It also helps with having all of the ingredients on hand to make dinners

That makes sense. It's a good idea cause we always buy stuff, especially lettuce and meat, that goes bad and gets thrown out.

I try to buy staples that will not go bad lettuce and such I grow so do not buy
now chicken is bought with other meats at Costco we do wait for the BF's second check of the month his SS to buy groceries but do make a list

 

[ShrekDawg]

I feel like that's my problem, I don't make lists and usually just get what I feel like or go in for one thing, usually dinner for myself, and end up with lots of groceries lol

And sometimes we buy sale lettuce, vegetables, and meats so we end up with a lot sometimes and the sale stuff sometimes goes bad faster

I would like to try growing lettuce this year though. I love spinach and kale and put spinach in eggs or smoothies but straight salads I usually buy spring mix or 50/50 spring mix and spinach. I also buy spinach/kale mixes and spinach, baby bok choy and one other thing, mix. Our grocery store has very large bags for pretty cheap. I often cook up the mixed bags in olive oil and eat that with salt and pepper. Very good. I wish I remembered what the third lettuce was haha any ideas what they would put in that mix? Spinach, bok choy, and....???

Anyway, I tried to grow spinach last year and a lot sprouted in the little pots but then the cat ate all of them.....

Only one grew back. But then it never really grew big or flourished or she might have eaten it again, idk.

I need to try again this year.

@KDOGG331 if your cat likes catnip, you could grow some of that for him. DS grows it and brings it to my cats when he visits...they love that!

She loves catnip! I have a tub of it but I don't use it too often because I find when I use it too much it doesn't produce as hilarious a reaction or affect her as much lol

But she also likes the warmth of the seedlings. Last year she laid on all my tomatoes and peppers. :/ and tried to eat them....

They did still manage to grow and thrive though

You plan a whole month in advance!?!? I don't even know what I'm eating till I eat it.

No but seriously. I will scrounge the cabinets, fridge, etc. And be like hmmmm what to eat... until I decide. Of course I do buy stuff and usually eat similar things. Cereal, yogurt, frozen TV dinners (hungry man, Boston market, etc.) or food (fish sticks and pretzels atm), microwave stuff (chef boyardee, soup), if I'm on a health kick then eggs and vegetables and fruit lol

But still, I eat what I feel like.

Which sometimes is muffins or junk.

And the only really consistent one is I usually always go to Subway after class cause it's right next to campus



Wow that's awesome!! Congrats!!

KD, did you know that in some muffins the number one ingredient is sugar, and some have a whole days portion of fat in them?

She was so cute I couldn't be mad lol

Although she kept doing it and eventually it got old so I did eventually get mad/shoo her off whenever I found her on them lol

I was surprised my cats left my little seedlings alone. The trays were up on racks but i have a ladder there to get up and water them. Kiss always climbs up the ladder to watch me catch stink bugs and water.
