So the last several months I have been trying to get our grocery budget under control. I try to plan a menu for the month, but I never shop for the month. Well this month I did. I planned the menu and shopped and got about 98% of the groceries I needed and still have quite a bit left in the budget.
There are a few reasons why our menu is a little different. We eat dinner at my Mom's house every Tuesday before Scouts. I also cook intentionally sometimes to have leftovers.
Here is the basic plan for each week:
Sunday: crock pot meal
Monday; Mexican (because we LOVE Mexican food)
Tuesday: Dinner at Mom's
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Salad
Friday: Grilled
Saturday: Breakfast (because I LOVE Breakfast food)
Sunday 9/6: Carolina BBQ
Monday 9/7: Brats and Hot Dogs
Tuesday 9/8: Mexican
Wednesday 9/9: Leftovers
Thursday: 9/10: BBQ Chicken Salad
Friday 9/11: Steak, brussel sprouts w/ bacon, coucous, and mac&cheese for the little people
Saturday 9/12: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits & cantaloupe
Sunday 9/13; Cheesy Chicken & Potato Chowder
Monday 9/14: FajitasTuesday 9/15: Mom's House
Wednesday 9/16: Leftovers
Thursday 9/17: Grilled Chicken on salad
Friday 9/18: Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and cabbage
Saturday 9/19: Breakfast Casserole with mandarin oranges and strawberries
Sunday 9/20: Beef Barley Soup with biscuits
