Menu for the week of 5/16

I started a new job yesterday, so things are still hectic around here, but I'm hoping to get back on track soon. :) It's a little late, but here's our menu for the week.

Breakfasts this week consist of waffles (home made but frozen so they can just reheat), cereal (got it for $1.25 a box!), or yogurt.

Lunches will be sandwiches (hot and cold), cheese roll-ups (my guilty pleasure), and soups.

Dinners

spaghetti casserole w/fruit on the side

chicken pot pie

breakfast for dinner (eggs, bacon, biscuits & gravy)

taco salad

shrimp stir-fry (without shrimp for Saff, she hates shrimp)

You might notice we don't have a lot of variety, especially for breakfast. The girls eat breakfast at school so we usually just eat whatever, but our back-up is cereal and yogurt. :) We eat a lot of eggs because they're cheap, and lately we have been eating a lot of waffles/pancakes because I got a great deal on some boxed mix last week.

Snacks are always fresh fruit (pineapples, bananas, apples, and strawberries this week), and each meal usually has fruit or veggies too. I just don't outline which ones on the menu.

Don't remember to grab your Sunday paper and clip coupons today. Our grocery bill used to be $100 a week, for our family of 5, but we started eating a little healthier and the bill went up to $125-$150. :( Now that I've started price matching and using coupons, we have saved a lot. Last week our groceries were $80. This week... EVEN LESS! It's not SUPER healthy by any means but we have lots of fresh fruits for snacks. I will post more about it on Friday. :)

Menu for this week

I used to do a "Menu Plan Monday", but that was many moons ago. I really enjoyed it so I'm trying it again, but on Sunday. I don't have anything else to blog about today, so I figured why not! :)

Our food budget for one week is $125. However, I've gone over twice this month (EEK!) so this week's budget is only $80. The food we are going to eat this week won't be quite as healthy as what we are used to, but it'll do.

Sunday - Hamburger Cupcakes

Monday - Loaded baked potato soup(Meatless Monday)

Tuesday - Stir Fry

Wednesday - Spaghetti with no meat

Thursday - Chicken Pot Pie (homemade.. YUM)

Friday - Egg Cupcakes

Saturday - Crockpot BBQ Chicken
