* Things I bought to make the meal for our company last night :) VERY good and well worth it (the food was great and the company well worthy of the meal)! Of course I didn't use everything, I only used 2 of the onions and part of the wine, but those are items I'll use over time and won't have to go buy next time I need them :)
I bought the Hot Pepper Cheese before I realized that the other cheese was on sale and that I could use some coupons to get a super-duper-hot-smokin' deal. But now we are well stocked in the cheese department for a while :) It pays to grab coupons that are hanging around the store even if that item isn't on sale right then! I grabbed the 2% cheese coupons probably a month ago... and didn't feel bad taking several of them. I wouldn't normally buy 2% cheese, but when it's on sale and I can get it for $.67... you betcha I'm gonna get as many as I have coupons for! I did check the shelf tag to make sure I couldn't wait until next week, but the sale ends before I'd be going back to the store so I went ahead and grabbed them this week. Back to the Hot Pepper Cheese... Daniel loves it!! It's not very hot when you eat it, but the after-burn has a pretty decent kick!
I didn't get a picture, but here's the non-food items that I got this week. They will come out of a budget other than the grocery budget.

I still think you did really well, even if it's more than your previous budget. Wow! Reading about cheese makes me want to eat some now! I wish I could have been an invisible attendee at your supper, I think the food must have been to die for!
For the little pies, did you use pie crust? When I looked up the Pampered chef tool, it mentioned using slices of bread. Please post how you made these. They look adorable. I was going to make pies for a party using a muffin tin, but these look easier! Please explain more :)
