Weekly Spending, Debt Update & Groceries/Meal Plans 6/26


Here's our spending for the week:
June 19: $10.00
  • Kaiser: $10.00 (prescription Refill)
June 20: $14.99
  • Amazon Market Place: $14.99
June 21: $0.00
June 22: $0.00
June 23: $0.00
June 24: $15.14 
  • $25 Restaurant.com gift card for $2
  • $13.14 Vons
June 25: $92.50
  • Fresh and Easy: $39.37
  • SCB's Cell phone: $53.13

I had to renew my perscription this month and we finally bought those monitor mounts we have been oggilying off Amazon because I won a $25 gift certificate!(Now we don't have to worry about earthquakes or the very unstable card table the computer is living on)! We also scored a deal on a Gift card on Restaurant.com... we got $25 for Buffalo Wild Wings for $2 so my fiance will get to use this for his man's night out when he goes and hangs out with him boys before the wedding. There was also a HUGE discount at Vons for Mnt Dew and with wedding stress and his upcoming boys night... we decided to stock up. :)

Debt Update:
What A WEEK... Not only did SCB get work last friday... but he worked Monday with Labor Ready... and he worked one day with our friend installing mirrors in a hotel again... AND he earned $100 in a day helping to install crown molding. We also emptied some of the coin money we had and put it in the debt envelope.  
  • Current Amount Saved:$1,287.00
  • $213 left to go and 13 days until we are hitched!
So if he can get 4 days of work through Labor Ready we will pay off the debt before the wedding... We can hang on to hope... but we might pull the money out of our emergency fund if he can't get any work in because we'd just like to put this behind us and move forward without any obligations to anyone... its very freeing to think we are so close!

Grocery Shopping Update:
I hit Fresh and Easy solo since SCB was working away on Saturday. I picked up:
  • 5 lb bag of Flour ($2.49), 2 one lb bags of rice ($0.89 each), 1 can of olives ($1.79), 2 cans of pineapple slices ($1.49 each), Alfredo Sauce ($1.99), Grapes ($0.99 lb, $3.28), frozen bell pepper blend (1.69), onion soup mix ($0.89), buns ($1.29), tortillas ($0.98), Granola bars ($2.99), Cilantro ($0.98), Salad mix ($1.99), Pepperoni ($2.49), Ground Sausage ($2.99), Mushrooms ($1.89), Tomatoes ($0.98), Onions ($0.98), Potatoes ($0.98), Fabric Softener sheets ($1.99), 2 containers of pepper jack cheese ($2 for $5 sale), 4 pack of vanilla yogurt ($2.79). Total: $45.39... minus $6 off coupon I got in my email, $39.37
We will hit Costco later today to pick up eggs and milk.  

Meal Plans:
Last week we were pretty good with sticking to our meal plan for the week... but we modified a few nights because we were either too tired or not in the mood for what we planned to cook... (but we made sure nothing was wasted or tossed out.) This week we will be really busy so we probably won't have a meat less meal... but we are planning 2 leftover nights instead. 

Sunday: Chicken tacos, (make pizza bread batches to take for lunches this week)
Monday: leftovers
Tuesday: work meeting (dinner provided)
Wednesday: Mexican Sandwich
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Pork chops, apple sauce, mash potatoes, peas
Saturday: Bachelorette party!
