I am totally unmotivated to blog anything or write about money. I don’t think I’m doing well with my financial challenges at the moment. Mostly I am feeling blue and staring at the mess of papers in my apartment wondering when did I let it all go to pot?
So the brief fiscal note is this:
I spent about $25 on groceries on Sunday afteroon. I bought limeade on sale, a loaf of bread, cold cuts for sandwiches, a rotisserie chicken and the ‘fixings’ for another excellent broth. I consider this a good disciplined list as I was starving and could have gone overboard, but I even passed on the chip aisle and got only a half dozen eggs so I can try to have brekkie at home. (BTW, the chicken is now $4.99 on Sundays, instead of $3.99, but still cheaper than the $6.99 it usually is.)
I have about 6 quarts of broth cooling in the fridge today. I hope to freeze a good chunk of it for soups later in the fall season. As it is, I need to debone the boiled meat, de-fat the broth and do some recipe planning tonight.
I think I need to buy some egg noodles and make some chicken noodley soup. The rest of the meat will become dinner for me when I get home every night. (Tuesday being an exception this week, because that’s when I step out to knit.)

cool, you knit? me too!
and re: meal planning – proud of you. it was probably hard to pass the pricier stuff and cook instead of eat out.
this too shall pass.
Chin up mate, at least you have a week’s worth of meals semi-planned. That’s something on the plus side of the ledger.
It happens to all of us. Luckily all the planning and organizing of past months have allowed me this moment to slack.
Don’t be unmotivated to post! I love your blog!
You are amazing at the food buying. I am trying really hard to get my food costs down, but I’m still a novice…I’m working on it.
