slippery slope

In the past week, I have gone down a very slippery slope. While bread of which used to be my down fall- until detox, it seems that it is now cake with thick gooey frosting. I don't know why either, as I was not much of a cake person- pie's oh yeah bring them on. Especially fruit pie.

Also the stress as really been mounting this week. I did turn to beer. While I did not purchase a 6 pack, I did no less than three times this week break down and purchase a Foster's "oil can". It tasted so very wonderfully and absolutley thirst quenching. Where does that fall in budget...they were on sale..3 for $5.00. I feel that I am getting closer to a more budget friendly grocery list. I do make lists...and attempt to stick to it.

Along with the beer, I also spurlged on a vegan cheap book, and a non medical soy powdered shake drink. I simply mix with my almond milk. Also on sale was yogurt. Not my activia...however 20 for $10.00 could not be beat. It was actually two different brands so I was able to get 10 of each. One was yoplate and the other was light and fit. Some wonderful flavors...strawberry cheesecake and key lime. So will be mixing that for two meals is my goal for this week.
With the second trip today- cat food was needed...it was 65.00. I made buttermilk pancakes with fried eggs and strawberries for breakfast. Rather than syrup, I used agar. It is a natural sweetner and has a syrup consistancy. While it is much most costly- it is used more sparingly than one would syrup. So it can last and be used in many receipts.
I hope to be back on track, and with a few more menu items to help save cost. As I have found, that budget and healthy do not go together. So stay tunned....please write...would like to have other's thoughts.

I have not forgotten about the pic's...I am working on it. I promise, one of these blogs you will be surprised.
