If you recall I'm trying to stick to a strict $50 a week food/household items budget until October 1st, you can read my first post here. I am now eleven days into this experiment and have done pretty good making do with the food already in the house.
My first week highlights:
- Spent $5.18 on two gallons of milk. I'm not surprised that I only spent this because I had done a fairly large shopping trip a few days before I started this so we were already pretty set in terms of food.
- I stuck to my meal plan every night except for Thursday when I was too tired to defrost some chicken so the kids had pizza. I do need to be more on the ball when it comes to setting meats out and prepping for dinner in advance.
This week is already half gone and I'm now getting my meal plan up. I think that with it being Labor Day week it throws everything off.
Meal Plan week of 9/4/11
Sunday - out to dinner (with a Groupon)
Monday - brats and turkey burgers, potatoes and onions on the grill and green beans
Tuesday - fish stix, green beans and peaches
Wednesday - chicken noodle soup and cornbread
Thursday - hot dogs, mac and cheese, vegetable
Friday - pizza and salad for the kids, we will have dinner at a friend's house
Saturday - cold sandwiches and chips (won't be eating at home)
