household cooking and finances
Apr. 19th, 2012 11:57 amMy current goal is to get through a week and only have to go grocery shopping twice. This week's meal plan:
(A) Everyone on their own for breakfast. Cereal, oatmeal, milk, fruit purchased.
(B) Everyone on their own for lunch; a few frozen dinners and some leftovers will be available.
(C) Dinners:
1) Steamed chicken with broccoli and new potatoes.
2) Taco night
3) Meatball sandwiches and salad
4) Beans and bacon, possibly as a beans-and-rice combo, or with leftover taco meat... something.
5) Fish sticks and corn and mashed potatoes.
6) Chicken ON A STICK with veggies ON A STICK.
7) Pigs in a blanket (Sausage wrapped in crescent rolls) plus salad.
I'd like to fit in more veggies, but I'm only picking up this recipe thing so fast, so that'll probably be a next week thing.
This week's grocery bill minus some household incidentals was $140. (Some of that, however, was me stocking up on butter, and buying salad dressing, and so on, not things we'll need every week.) And we already had tacos for lunch and nommed up all 8 of the tortillas (which, happily, are cheap, so I can get more today or tomorrow).
