Shopping today
Okay I did some stockpiling today. I did not do as well as most of you but I am still pretty proud of how well I did. I bought 43 items for a total of $82.31 that is an average of $1.91 per item! Here are the highlights.....
4 frozen pizzas $3.99 each
2 lb of bacon $5.00
2 10 Kroger ham $3.49
4 Starkist tuna $1.00 each
4 frozen veggies $1.00 each
2 packs El Paso taco season $1.00 for both
4 lb ground beef $1.25 each
12 boxes of cereal for $10.00 (that is less than a $1.00 a box!)
2 cans of Dole pineapple FREE!
My girls laughed when they saw the cereal. But I know that it will be gone in no time.

Meal Plan 11/9-11/15
It is Monday again! I am going to try to get myself together again! Because of a new bill that has been added to the list I will be a really tight budget from here on out. I have to work on keeping my food budget to $250.00 a month and $50.00 for household.
So this week we are eating mostly what I have on hand.
Monday-Grilled Cheese/Tomato soup (I made it!)
Tuesday-Crock pot salsa chicken/rice/corn/cornbread
Wednesday-Chicken quesadilla/rice/corn
Thursday-Pancakes/bacon
Friday- OUT
Saturday-Sandwiches/chips/pasta salad

I am keeping things simple in the hope that will help me.

Meal Plan 6/22-6/30
I did ok sticking to the meal plan last week. I have found that the worst part about meal planning for me is my kids. DD#1 isn't home enough any more to matter but the twins seem to be on the run too this summer. So what I have come up with is dinner is at 6:00 and if you are not there you can reheat it or make your own. My kitchen is closed for cooking after dinner. Another issue I am having is breakfast and lunch. Monday-Friday they can make their own. On the weekends I have decided you are on your own for breakfast but I will plan a lunch, on Sunday I am going to plan Brunch and Dinner.
My Meal Plan for the rest of June is pretty much planned because I am using what I have but for July I am going back to planning week by week. In July I am going to try to spend only $38 a week for all 3 meals.
Breakfast:
Bagelfuls/bagel, toast w/peanutbutter or cereal
Lunch:
Sloppy Joes, leftovers, pb&j, ramen and taco salad
Dinner:
22: Salsa chicken/rice/corn
23: Taco Bake/rice/green beans
24: Pasta w/sauce/green beans/garlic bread
25:Pork Chops/cornbread stuffing/peas
26: ShakenBake Chicken/fruit/leftover veggies
27: B-OYO L- Ramen/fruit D-Teriyaki chicken/rice/peas
28: LEFTOVER DAY (we eat whatever is on hand)
29: Mac&ch/green beans
30: Smoked Sausage/pasta salad/peas
