Meal Plan 8

I know, I know....I've been slacking!! It's hard to say that I've been busy since I don't have a job or kids, but it really is amazing how busy you can get doing household chores, even in a tiny apartment :) So, last week we were very excited about our offer being accepted on our house, but we decided to rescind our offer. More on that later though. We are a little sad and have had to jump through some hoops, but our quest for the perfect home continues! And on to this week's menu...again it is a little weird because we are still using some gift cards. Also, I attempted to visit Trader Joe's this week for the first time here because I really needed some good meat substitutes and lo and behold the power was out...go figure. Not to mention, it took me forever to find it because my silly little GPS told me the wrong spot (it was the right road, but far too soon)...the joy of technology, right? So, I had to run to Wal-Mart for the last three items (fake chicken, fake hot dogs, and quinoa) and since they aren't a specialty store, more expensive. Oh well, good thing I didn't spend too much at Aldi!
