It is week 5 and I had so many errands to run Sunday that I stopped at one stop- Kroger- to do my shopping. I missed my Aldi's trip this week! And even with missing Aldi's, I spent.... $32!!!
Yep folks, this week my grocery expenditures was only $32.
Here's the menu for the week:
- Sausage with rice and corn
- Tacos
- Chicken Pot Pie
- Breakfast for dinner
- chicken parmigiana
- frozen pizza
So I have been making AMAZING homemade pizza, but my husband cleaned the kitchen and he likes to keep it clean for a few days afterwards so we resort to frozen pizza.
Anyways, all of the meat was already bought for the week. I stocked up on green beans and corn (our favorite vegetables) last time they were on sale. I already had rice, pasta, and all of the ingredients for chicken parmigiana. The chicken pot pie is frozen from last month when I doubled the recipe and made an extra serving. Taco kits are about $2.50.
I felt so bad I bought Moose tracks ice cream :) And a bag of "real chips"! Oh, and the expensive meat from the deli!
Next week is the last week of "planned menu items" for the month and for the budget I set. The good news is that I will still have enough items in my freezer and pantry to probably last an extra few days. Since I am reaching the two month mark it is definitely time to clean out the freezer. Once that is done, I will begin working on the next month's grocery list.
I plan on checking out some recipes found here:
