Last week saw 4 nights of home cooked dinners, 1 nights of leftovers and 1 nights of Eating Out. The Daughter was going to make us dinner on Friday but the store was out of lobsters so we went out.
I made 1 trip to Weis Markets and 1 trip to the Shursave Market and $38.30 was spent last week, bringing food spending in August to a Grand Total of $333.94 for the month.
So nice to be $86.06 under my $420 goal for August groceries. 8-)))

My savings percentages last week and for the month to-date? Last week's percentage is 46.45% and the monthly end up at 50.30%(without Rite-Aid trips added in). With all trips added in it brought the August savings percentage up to 55.29%.

Here is this week's "food plan".....
This week will see 5 new meals cooked, 2 nights of leftovers and 0 night of Take-Out/Eating-Out.
The leftover bbq will be a sandwiches ring, we have some leftover ground beef to make tacos, there is leftover roast chicken to make fajitas and I plan to buy 2 frozen pizzas today and there are hot dogs in the freezer.
What I need to buy for this menu? I plan to buy 2 pizzas today(part of a Mix and Match 6 items Deals and there is no room in the freezer so we'll eat that today along with a salad), as well as some corn. We also need lettuce, OJ and milk.

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

Your menu looks good, Sluggy. We love chicken pot pie here, it is sooo good. lol We are having a cookout with my Dad today who is in from Illinois, so we are looking forward to that. I hope you have a restful Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteLots of great deals end tomorrow, so I have to shop! Chicken will be involved in many meals this week, along with carrots, potatoes, and salad with tomatoes.
