Well it’s now officially November so I better get hopping on my big grocery plan. Thus far we’ve (Mr. Numbers and I) have spent $125 at the stores. We’re still crunching the numbers on what it was exactly that we bought especially since Mr. Numbers managed to squeeze everything into just five bags!
First up though is sketching out our menu for this week. My goal is that we will not hit the store again this week and possibly next week except for our perishables that we need. We have a couple things that the store just never has enough so we almost always have to head back to get the amount we needed. Milk is the primary one.
I always flop my days so I’m copying Not Jenny with just listing my meals!
Breakfast (choose any one): Muffins, Oatmeal, Eggs & Toast, Yogurt & Fruit
Lunch (choose any one): Leftovers, Fried Egg Sandwich, PB&J/Cheese Sandwich.
Suppers often roll into lunches as leftovers. I’m keeping that in mind when I cook anymore to try to make that happen more often than not.
Meal 1 roasted potatoes, carrots and roast beef side of applesauce
Meal 2 chicken curry with lentils and flat breads
Meal 3 BBQ Pork Sandwiches, cottage cheese, oranges, sweet potato baked
Meal 4 Beef Tacos, fresh veggies and fruits
Meal 5 Homemade Pizza,
Meal 6 Beans and Ham Stew, Cornbread
Meal 7 Vegetable Beef Stew
Did you buy your meat this round or are you working off freezer stores?
I’m working from the freezer for our meat. Bonus is that we got our beef in last month and the freezers all inventoried so I can see what we have already.
Homemade Pizza seems very popular this week. You have a terrific week.
One of the problems we have with our bulk meat buy is how to count it with the weekly/monthly budget. Do you just say, this much for the year/12 months and that’s your total or do you know a more precise number?
