Week Three

The gf and I went to the West Hollywood farmer's market Sunday, located at Croft and Melrose Place. We spent $23 and got:
1lb of Spinach
3lbs of Gold Potatoes
5lbs of Strawberries
A bag of roasted pistachios (the gf's favorite)
2 bundles of asparagus

5lbs of strawberries is a lot, so I cut up a bunch and froze them. The rest will be eaten throughout the week.
And I'll make roasted asparagus tonight for dinner, with the leftovers saved for lunch.

We still had broccoli, cauliflower, mixed lettuce, carrots, celery, and radishes.

I have to admit that last week we went over budget a bit. There was a $10 trip to McDonalds, because the gf and I were in a hurry to get to our soccer game and I didn't have time to make anything. We also made a pit stop at Trader Joes and Ralph's for ice cream, mushroom appetizers, soy protein and some Indian dinners for the gf. We probably went $20 over budget last week.

We plan on using the remaining $27 for organic bread, Lactaid and coffee. We'll probably end up in the black this week, which will help offset landing in the red the week before.
