We needed a few things, so I went to the store for them.
First of all, I spent about twenty five dollars more than I intended to spend. Part of this was the fifteen dollar container I bought to use as a breadbox for all the homemade bread I've been making. Still, I did buy a few things that weren't on my list.
To keep myself on track, I'm posting a list of all the meals that I can make with what I have on hand, and when I plan to make it.
Spent:55.00 (including breadbox)
Things I purchased are in bold
Saturday: BLTs
Homemade bread, tomatoes, last of the lettuce, bacon (freeze 1/2 of the bacon)
Sunday: Fajitas
Chicken, onions, olives, tomatoes, salsa, tortillas, green peppers, sour cream
Monday: Chicken cacciatore
Chicken, pasta, Prego sauce, mushrooms, homemade herb bread
Tuesday: Omlettes
eggs, cheese, green pepper, toast
Wednesday: Shepherd's pie (make two and freeze one)
ground chicken, potatoes, onion, cream of chicken soup, can of corn, cheese (if any is left over)
Thursday: Chicken and rice soup

Friday: Mashed potato soup

So, eight days of meals and snacks for 55 dollars. I also bought milk, a treat, and bananas, which the girls like to eat with lunch. Let's see how we do this week resisting the temptation to buy any more food.
