Frugal Meal planning week of November 3rd

First full week  of November!  Turned the heat on yesterday for the first time since it was getting chilly plus the clocks turning back.   We are wrapping up fall soccer and now starting basketball.   One of the boys got on a travel soccer team for the spring and the coach wants them to participate in an extra winter league. It cost an extra $250 for 8 games . Besides the extra  money there are probably going to be some conflicts with basketball which he already made a commitment.  

I also picked up a turkey this week for 59 cents a pound.   I picked up a few this time of year to cook at certain times of the year!! I was able to stock up on some chicken broth and stuffing mixes.


Sunday burgers and french fries

Monday  Chicken legs  , broccoli and cheese  stuffed potatoes.  I got a really good deal on the chicken legs-

Tuesday  Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Wednesday  We are expecting to get another big storm not as big as Sandy but a perfect day for some  Pumpkin and sausage soup and some crusty wheat bread!


Thursday  Pasta night -if we have leftover brushcetta that will be added in!

Friday  Fish tacos and side veggies

Saturday  Homemade pizza

Thrifty Thursday rewind November 1st

Welcome to the Thrifty Thursday rewind. We made out  fine during Hurricane Sandy and were only without power for 15 hours. Not bad compared to the 72 hours we were without power during Hurricane Irene last year.   My prayers with the people in New Jersey and New York who have lost their homes.  Please make a donation to the American Red cross or another organization in the local area, Maybe you don't go out to eat this weekend or go to the movies-these folks need our help. 

One of my goals each year is to not turn on the heat until November 1st! I am happy to say that this year I made it.   Maybe years I usually only get to the last week of October.  

My entry for this week is  Programmable thermostats are worth it Do you have one?  What do you set your temp on during the winter months?
