Well.

Close, but no cigar.  Looks like we will end up about $20 overbudget on groceries for February.  Last week I spent $6.50 at Wal-Mart on peanut butter, babyfood, and tomato juice.  I was there to get some stuff for work and decided to get some peanut butter while I was at the dreaded place (since it is cheapest there or Target). I really wish Costco would carry the Skippy Natural.  My husband refuses to eat the kind that you have to stir.  And since he is such a good sport about eating PB&J, I better get him the kind he likes.  Then I spent $20 on bread, milk, bananas, pears (not organic, but 65 cents/lb.), and jelly at Costco.  We truly could have skimped by for a few more days, but didn't see the need.  A BIG Costco and Whole Foods stock up trip for March looks to be in the near future.  The documenting of the groceries is nearly over, thanks for hanging with me.

This is the time of year that I never know what to make for dinner.  I am tired of casseroles, and want fresher tasting stuff, but want big dishes that provide leftovers so I don't have to cook everynight.  So, how to swing that?  I think I will be throwing some new recipes into the mix.
