Ok, so this will be our second week at dinner menus and coupons. UGH, I am exhausted just thinking about it. We did survive a whole week of not going to the store and I have a plan to go Sunday. I have my coupons cut thus far and have researched the different grocery stores and I think I am ready to go. I am, however, not going to buy produce from the grocery store I am going to go to the local farmers market and buy from the farmers. While I am growing almost all my own veggies, my spinach and other greens have bolted due to the hot weather, so I think we will head down to farmers market and see what they have. So here is my menu...
Saturday: Lamb Chops with Cous, Cous and veggies
Sunday: Chicken with Rice and veggies
Monday: Whole Wheat Tortillas, tomatos, black olives, artichoke hearts and feta. Remember its meatless monday!
Tuesday: Steak with mashed taters and veggies
Wednesday: Hamburgers or Hotdogs
Thursday: Fish with Pasta and peas
Friday: Darcie's Choice
We spent $42.18 at Costco yesterday. Which brings our running monthly total to $43.97 starting on June 10th. Now at Costco we bought hot dogs, buns (both hot dog and hamburger), blk olives, honey, and feta. These things will last for a very long time so I guess that I could divide this cost over 3 months or more. Oh well I am not going to be that OCD.
Happy Gardening!
Okay you have inspired me....help me with this slight problem though. Right now I am never sure exactly what time we all get home from work....second I don't know if I will be cooking for 2 or 3. So how do I plan a menu that could change at the last minute. I do have to make the list thing.....I spend way too much on groceries!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for doing this! We have gone off the deep end lately and have eaten steak three days in a row. I think we are trying to make summer come by barbecuing in the rain. We had rarely ate red meat for almost an entire year! Next week back to chicken and turkey and meatless meals on occasion.
