Friday night excitment
In the Arrogant household, we go shopping every 2 weeks. My budget is $310 a month for groceries. This 2 week period, our menu consists of buffalo chicken strips with tator tots, salmon (friend will feed us....I will supply the lemon cake), meatloaf, BBQ chicken legs with mash pot and biscuits, spaghetti, corndogs and fries, nachos, turkey manwich, pasta, soup night, pulled pork sandwiches, and cheezit chicken (thanks, Katie).

Tomorrow, we have to pick up 4 more items at a different store. Albertsons is having a sale I can't pass up:

Which leaves us with $52 to add snacks or anything we run out of like milk or bread. Usually, I would only have about $30 left for extras, but this week, I have a lot of convenience or easy foods on our menu. I'm not really "cooking" a lot of the meals this period. Guess I just need a break.
