The menu this week:
- Stew
- Pasta
- Chili
- Chicken
- Enchiladas
- Homemade Pizza
Apparently, the husband saw my list and was a little concerned. He said, "I need more to my meal than just a main dish. I need sides." As a woman, and a woman watching her diet, this turned my stomach. However, I quickly realized that I am his wife and he is a man who does need more calories than me.
New menu
- Stew (meat, potatoes, carrots) with homemade bread and salad
- Cheddar Penne Pasta with Sausage and a side of fruit salad
- Chili, cornbread, rice
- Chicken cutlets, zucchini, broccoli with cheese, and bread
- Enchiladas, refried beans, rice, and mexican corn
- homemade pizza with pepperoni
Even after adding in the extras, my grocery bill was very reasonable at $55. I did spend a few more dollars than necessary by buying things at the regular grocery store instead of Aldi's. Live and learn.
Also, I know that the money was less because I already bought the meat.
Still, I am right on track with my goal of $320 for four weeks. My freezer is getting lots of extras like soups, extra chicken pot pie, and other various leftovers. I am pretty interested to see what it will look like after week 4 and how the frozen dinners will help out in Month 2.
Will keep you posted on the success rate of this adventure :)
