I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!I promised I'd post pictures of my groceries and how much I spent on them, and I'm hoping this will keep me accountable!
This week I spent $21.58 on groceries at Safeway...
...and $38.95 at Costco totaling $60.53. I'm hoping that with all this produce I can slide by without having to go grocery shopping next week. I feel good about the food purchases I made this week, even though I spent more than I thought I would and am hoping that we don't keep this up or else we won't make it!
The cherries (which Geoff really likes) were on sale for $2.99 a pound, where they're normally $6.99/lb here. The strawberries were also just over $1.00 a pound though I can't remember the exact amount. They're at least double that even when they're on sale at the supermarket. I cut them all up, and am going to try to make them last over a week (this can be difficult in our house!) I also needed rolls for one of our meals, but since I didn't think we could go through a whole bag, I bought them individually, for .79 cents each.
So, here's what we're eating this week! (Starting with July 2nd)
Sunday: Baked potatoes with all the fixins. (We'll buy potatoes and chives, but we have cheese and sour cream in the house already.
Monday: BBQ at a friend's. We're bringing a salad.
Tuesday: Meatloaf (which will hopefully last the week for lunches) and corn on the cob.
Wednesday: Shrimp Po'Boys and most likely a veggie of some sort.
Thursday: Skillet macaroni and cheese, again, some veggie or salad.
Friday: I'm out, and I usually get a smoothie from Emerald City Smoothie. Geoff will have leftovers, probably.
Saturday: Homemade pizza (this might be pushed to Sunday, since I work on Saturdays and might not have the time or patience to make the dough. I might even try grilled pizza!
Sunday: Breakfast for dinner. We had extra pancakes so I froze them. Not as good as fresh, but still good (I hope). Probably also either fruit or bacon.
