*****************************
And here is the "meal plan" that actually happened last week.....
Sunday--Salmon with maple glaze, Stir-fried mixed veg, mashed potatoes
Monday--BLT sandwiches with tomato from our garden...slurp!
Tuesday--tuna helper, Caesar salad
Wednesday--Leftover Rigatoni, Broccoli
Thursday--Meatloaf(leftover), Mashed Taters, Snow Peas
Friday--Taco Bell
Saturday--Leftovers
The weekly food spending was $9.91. I was tempted to do the Kimberely/Clark Cat Deal at Weis(which would have stocked me up on a few things but would have meant spending alot more OOP) but in the end I resisted. I used $12 in Cats to pay last week for the few needs we had which is why I spent so little.
I didn't stay within the $8 limit I set but it was close. None of what I spent was for items needed to make dinner.....it was all milk purchases and items for the Daughter's work lunches.
I have $82.02 left of my $400 food budget for August and 11 days left in the month. I think we can make it to the end of the month before the end of the money. ;-)

That's quite a menu! And with only 11 days left, I think you definitely can meat your monthly budget. This week I'll be experimenting with real fish for the first time (not the breaded pre-cooked ones!), that plus lots of chicken dishes and fancy salads. A lot of my budget went straight into produce!
ReplyDeleteUgh you just need to take a road trip to my house and fix my food budget. But it should go down now with Anna back in school.
