My husband insists that I'm violating the Geneva conventions when I make a slow-cooked pasta sauce like yesterday's meat sauce. This week's meals call for no all-day simmering sauces (though I may elect to keep the meatballs for subs hot in a small slow cooker after I heat them).
I'm still under $400 for this month, budget-wise, and the only purchases I'll have to make between now and the end of the month are for perishables like fruit, salad fixings, and milk. I think we're shaping up well.
