We started August with a monthly allocation of $381.61 and a cushion of $178.94, giving us $560.55. The first half of the month we spent a total of $70.74. That left us with $310.87 of the monthly allocation and the $178.94 cushion.
What we ate:
Hummus, crackers, grapes and brownies; Greek salad, pasta salad with turkey, watermelon, grapes; leftover hamburger from the freezer, pasta salad with mozzarella, shortbread cookies; Greek salad with hamburger and blue cheese on top; Pulled pork sandwich, corn, potato chips; baked potato bar, peas, sauteed cherry tomatoes with onions and mushrooms, garlic cheese bread; Alfredo noodles with ham; smoked sausage with baked beans and corn; beef, bean and rice taco boats with rustic tomato salad and fruit for dessert; tuna chowder with crackers, tomato sandwiches, peaches with blackberries; chicken salad stuffed tomatoes, grapes, corn on the cob; orange glazed pork, potatoes Anna, steamed broccoli, watermelon; eggplant Parmesan with pasta, rustic salad and garlic bread; leftovers; spaghetti squash with Asian peanut sauce, peaches and peas
As you have noticed, meals were simple while I was in the hospital and recovering. Nothing wrong with simple meals, but I do like to throw in a "Sunday dinner" on a regular basis. Maybe soon.
What we bought:
CSA: lettuce, peaches, tomatoes, potatoes (5 lbs), beets, colored sweet peppers, cucumber, green beans, acorn squash $12

For the second half of the month we spent $87.86. So, the total spent for the month is $158.60. That averages out to $5.12/day this month. Thank heavens for stockpiles.
We are left with $223.01 of this month's allocation to add to the existing cushion. So, our cushion now stands at $401.95. Love it! I see turkeys, hams and baking ingredients being added to our stockpile in the near future. :) That's my happy face.
