I missed posting yesterday.....sorry about that

Hi all. Well, it is day three of our no spend month, and I missed my day two post. I have a good excuse, I promise. I have been super sick with the flu, and it got the best of me this weekend. I am in bed, awake and ready to keep typing so here we go.

I am going to try and start posting pics this next week of the meals we are making. Our phones have decent cameras, so it should be a snap.

Yesterday, the family stayed home again. I was preoccupied trying to get treated for this flu of mine, but being housebound has helped with the temtation of spending for sure!

For breakfast yesterday, the kids decided on cheese toast, bananas, and milk for breakfast. Bananas go fast in this house, so it is a great thing they are so cheap, so it shouldn't be a budget kill for me. I have two loaves of bread here in the house, but have a feeling that will also need replenishing soon.

For lunch, we (or my husband, lol) decided on grilled ham and cheese sandwich mini's, canned peaches in their own juices (I don't do syrup) and actifry potato chips with some yukon gold's we have in the pantry. I have some black forest ham lunch meat I got at SAM's this month, with a darn good shelf life. It tastes just like deli ham, which is hard to do and is low in sodium, even better. I have a half package of sandwich mini's left, but the kids love them and they are whole grain. We have a decent amount of cheese. All my cheese in the frig is cheddar, I quit buying Kraft Singles when my kids told me they preferred the real cheese's.

The actifry is a machine that fry's food with 1tablespoon of oil. It doens't actually fry, but the end result is like frying. We didn't go out and buy this machine, Robert has it as part of his job with an agency, where he does product knowledge demonstrations. This is one of the perks, and it is a nice $300 machine I know I can't afford, so I am all for using it while we have it! You might hear me talking about it more and more, since I can cook so much in it!

For dinner last night, the kids had a frozen pizza that was in the deep freezer and made it a movie night. Things were a little nuts from me being sick, but they all made the best of it. They also finished off a 2 liter sprite open from Christmas, as a special treat. I was glad that got used since I am notorious for letting soda get poured out after sitting and sitting.

So, my next challenge......today is Sunday......I need a paper.
