It's that time again...time for grocery shopping. I have to buy for 5 weeks instead of 4 this time because my next payday isn't until for another 5 weeks. Luckily, I have a few surplus items, peanut butter, salmon, butter or rice, so I don't have to pay as much. I really need chicken because I have some in the freezer. Thing is, it's been soaked in marinade (caribbean jerk, teriyaki, and sesame ginger) and I don't exactly how I should calculate the calories for it. I guess I'll figure something out.

  3 - containers of oats
  2 - containers of raisins
  2 - one gallon of 1% low fat milk
  1 - 5 lb package of pork loins (thin-cut)
  2 - 5 lb package of chicken breast
  1 - 16 oz sirloin steak
  1 - 3 lb package of ground beef (extra lean)
  1 - 2 lb package of flounder fillets
  2 - 2 lb package of cod fillets
10 - 2 lb package of baby carrots
  7 - 2 lb package of sweet peas
45 - granny smith apples
  1 - bag of potatoes
  4 - loafs of honey wheat bread
  4 - 3 oz package of popchips
  1 - bottle of blue cheese salad dressing
  1 - bottle of thousand island salad dressing
  1 - 8 oz package of shredded cheese
  1 - 3 oz jar of bacon bits
  1 - 8 oz container of sour cream
  3 - freezer bag (quart)
  1 - freezer bag (gallon)

I've been contemplating if I want to have steaks and potatoes instead of hamburgers and chips on Saturday:

150 cals - 4 oz ground beef
120 cals - 1oz popchips
  80 cals - 2 slices of honey wheat bread
  50 cals - .5 tbsp mayo
  20 cals - 1 tbsp ketchup
420 calories

VERSUS

240 cals - 4 oz sirloin steak
  82 cals - .5 potato
  30 cals - 1 tbsp sour cream
  28 cals - .5 tbsp cheese
  25 cals - .25 tbsp butter
  25 cals - .5 tbsp bacon bits
    0 cals - 1 tsp chives
430 calories

Well, despite having the potato loaded with all the fixing it fits in my meal plan. So guess who's having steak this weekend? That's right...this guy.
