Week of 2/27 Totals

I went to a lot of stores this week! Unfortunately, during my first shopping trip at HT & Lowe's, the majority of what I was trying to get was out- so I picked up some rain checks for the HT whole chicken (.59/lb.) and the pork roast at Lowe's.

I do have to admit (or I may get a call from my loving brother in law who made sure Andy knew we were not following the plan...) that this week may not be as successful as it looks. When I got home from work on Monday I was just not in the mood to cook (crazy, I know!). It was also the day Andy signed his new job offer- it was a perfect recipe for a night out :) So, we enjoyed some B1G1 sushi at Sushi Thai. YUM! Then, after driving around looking at houses on Wednesday night, we were exhausted and decided to stop for pizza. Life goes on, and next week I shall try again!
