Ketchup, fresh-made salsa, stir-fry sauce, plain Cheerios, peanut butter (national brands), salad dressing (it was actually the first ingredient in one of our dressings - yikes!)
As I said before, we use the Dave Ramsey plan of only cash to buy groceries. When it's gone, it's gone. On weeks when I have extra money, I set it aside for those weeks when I need some extra! This week I needed it, and sadly my jar is now empty! I had to run out to the store yesterday for more fruit (that's what happens when you don't have any sugar in the house - you eat LOTS of fruit). Then today I had to pick up cilantro and jalepenos for our dinner tonight. Real food is definitely more expensive... although I do think it is largely worth it.
Here's what we had for dinner tonight:
Black beans (home-made from dried beans: cheaper and much tastier than the canned ones) and rice burritos on whole wheat tortillas with cheese, onions, tomatoes, jalepenos, and cilantro. Salsa was not an option since we found out that it has sugar in it! The kids had the same thing, disassembled, minus the onion and jalepenos. Leftover sweet potato hash browns and oranges as side dishes. Yum, yum! No smoothies tonight because the dinner was very filling!
