This weeks menus, a work in the making , day 2




Sunday :  it's still hot here like the hottest it's been in years.    My take is to make salads early in the day, add to them all week, and cook a main entree to go with.   Tonight  my husband is cooking tuna melts.


  1. Mixed fruit salad (strawberries, blues, cantaloupe ) 
  2. Pasta salad with peas and peppers 
  3. Cucumber salad 
  4. Potato salad 
Costs : salads eaten all week. Some  are replenished.   
Strawberries are a  dollar at Fred Meyers.    Cantaloupe was 1.50 (1/2)  Blues 5.00 2 lbs.   
Pasta Salad was .75 .   
English cucumbers were on sale at Costco - multiples for 2.49. 
Potato salad was 3.99 at Grocery outlet.    

About 12.00 divided by four is three dollars a meal.   


Tuna melts were made from English muffins (.50) and .50 albacore tuna from wilco with a coupon.    
Cheese was on sale at Winco.    Total to serve four, two dollars.    






Monday Dinner 
Shrimp and salad 

Notes : shrimp was five dollars at Safeway's.   Bacon  Cesear salad. 


Tuesday dinner 
Part of a pot luck ( what's left) 



Suddenly salad classic , added tomatoes, black olives, peppers, parsley,
