How am I doing with my grocery?

Today is Tuesday and since Saturday I have not eaten out at all, including lunch. For me this is a huge success. However, I was wrong when I assumed I can feed my man with only salad for whole week. Yesterday I had to go Ralphs and buy pasta, more bread and stuffed pepper for him. I've learned couple grocery lessons that I'd like to share with you.
  • I've done meal planning before I went to grocery shopping which worked out perfect
  • I need to include more nonperishable items such as; pasta, beans etc
  • Trader Joe's is expensive. I will go to ethnic store for fruits and vegetables
  • Once a week I'll go to Trader Joe's, Ralphs and ethnic store. They are all close by sort of. For me the best day to shop is Monday after work.

Last 4 days I've been eating very healthy as a result of good meal planning. Spinach lasagna, smoked salmon sandwich, oatmeal (breakfast),mango&avocado salad, chicken salad with dried fruits and mixed green, lean cuisine ( for lunch), asparagus with rice and chicken. Yum!yum yum!

Berry Girl,

I live in CT . Do you find that groceries have increased greatly on the west coast. Especially once you factor in the ever shrinking contents. Less prodocut for a great price, :( .
Anyways, the other reason I am commenting is because I did not see a Contact link. I am definitely going to add you as a link to my site www.faslip.com . I like your candid approach to PF. Plus it peaked my interest when you spoke about domain names. I am trying to do similar things and would love to correspond more on this if you are interested.

I gotta say I laughed at your comment about feeding your man salad all week long. No way, not in my world! Men have to eatum MEAT. Salads are for the ladies or only a side dish. Sounds like you did good keeping with your menu plan, great meals!
