It's Raining, It's Pouring...and a budget update

By -
If you would have asked me on Tuesday - I would have TOLD you that we would have Thunderstorms in Southern Wisconsin today. I could tell by the migraine that was so bad that I actually had to go in for a "rescue" shot.

Yes, I slept very well that night... and the hubster was in charge of dinner.

What is the perfect thing to serve when you have a splitting headache and are physically ill?
Pizza apparently, LOL!

It was a Salvatore's special for $23 (with tax and tip).

It took a large chunk or our monthly budget but there were no complaints -- or if there were, I slept through them, LOL!

Add the fact that I hit Aldi's today for some produce (GREAT Prices on everything from pears to green grapes) and we are getting close to running out of money!

March Monthly Budget
$100.00
-13.81 Copps 3/3
$86.19 to go
+1.74 Walgreen's (did the Toothpaste Deal 3x with coupons and RRs)
- 2.48 Aldi (pineapple and pears) 3/6
-$7.90 (school lunch 1x a week)
-$13.53 Copps 3/14
$64.02 to go
-$11.59 Chili's dinner out with the gal pals on my scrappin' weekend (Yes, it kills me to pay for ONE person's meal, the same price I bring home almost $100 in groceries.......)
$52.43
-$2.06 Sentry Foods (cabbage and potatoes)
-$12.10 Copps (5# corned beef, milk, 2 McCain's spuds, 5 Chex Mix)
-$23.00 Salvatore's (Pizza)
-$3.58 bread outlet 3/21 (2 loaves bread, hot dog buns)
-$7.74 Aldi 3/22 (Green Grapes, Strawberries, Mushrooms, Veggie Oil, Pineapple)
$3.95 to go.

9 days -- $3.95
It's gonna be tight..........ha!
We have everything we need but milk.

I think that answers the "what am I going to buy" this week question
:)

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
