The realization hit that we indeed needed some non-carb protein for the week settled in and I accepted the fact that I had to go to the grocery store. I knew I could hit up Safeway and stick to my budget while finding what I needed.
These eggs will be perfect for us, not organic BUT they claim to be cage free, vegetarian fed, hormone and antibiotic free as well as 'certified' humane. I do make occasional substitutions for organic eggs, and I won't pay $6 a dozen, so this was perfect! Just over $2 each!
I was hoping for something to put in our soup... ground turkey maybe? But $6 a pound isn't going to cut it when a single pound is hardly enough to feed my family when ADDED to a meal. These natural chicken sausages were marked down to $3.50 each and a package of those worked great in my soup!
Last but not least I need to plan ahead for hubbys birthday next week. I actually wrote on my calendar to go to Dairy Queen as our local DQ has half-off all in-stock cakes on the first monday of the month. The 4 year old and I picked out a good one and it was only $13. Daddy almost got an Angry Birds cake ;)

A final decision was made to cut our satellite cable. Sounds common enough, right? But unfortunately for us we DO NOT have high-speed internet. We have gone without TV before (see this little post from when we got out of debt) and its totally fine. Without having reliable or fast internet we have issues with Netflix, streaming is a joke and it often does not work at all. But who needs TV when its nearly Spring, right?
Cutting cable savings: $120 a month! (another negative of living out of city limits, services are killer expensive! that price got us ONLY basic service, not a single upgrade, sports channel, movie channel or 'better' channels....)
Total Spent: $23
:D
