This is week two being back on track with making grocery shopping plans that keep me from over spending.
Last week was very successful. I only spent $59 and was able to feed my family of four, including my teenage son!
We did splurge yesterday on pizza. I was gone most of the day and when I got home my husband said he wanted pizza.
Thankfully we can afford to do this with how little I spent the week before.
Here’s hoping I can do it again this week! Below is my menu which includes fish, chicken, and a ham bone that I have in my freezer. I am getting low on meats so I am hoping
Now on to this weeks menu plan.
Breakfast and lunch is pretty much the same around my house which is why that part of the menu never changes.
Breakfasts – consists of oatmeal, cold cereal, fruit smoothies, toast & poached eggs.
Lunches – consists of soups, peanut butter or tuna sandwiches, and dinner leftovers.
Dinners – I will try to include lots of veggies this week.

Usually we have a very late lunch and just find something small for dinner. Either way I don’t plan because I like to be flexible for anything that pops up.
I also am a big believer in making and following a menu, but sometimes seem to get in a rout so THANKS for the new ideas, will gladly share with you. We also have a 17yr son who can eat us out of house and home. And my monthly groc budget is @ $350.
