June 10-16 Meals

Yay meals and grocery shopping. Ha! Here are this weeks plans:


Sunday: Stuffed Pepper Casserole - This is SO good! Total for this meal: $6.02

I already had the meat from our last Sams Club haul, but I had to buy a bell pepper ($1.48 womp womp), Tomato sauce ($.20), and cheese ($4.34 for a 2lb bag that will last us a long time).


Monday: Mexican Junk Total for this meal: $4.63

 All I do for this is brown 1lb ground beef, then add taco seasoning, a can of black beans ($.92) , a can of corn ($.38) , a jar of salsa ($1.33) . I eat it in a bowl but my husband likes to eat it as a dip with tortilla chips ($2).


Tuesday: Creamy Ranch Pork Chops Total for this meal: $1

I had a lot of this already. Boneless pork chops, a block of cream cheese, dry Ranch seasoning, can of cream of chicken soup in the crockpot. Eat over egg noddles ($1).


Wednesday: Small group at church, we are eating baked spaghetti. I am contributing the lettuce for the salad. Total for this meal: ($1.96)
Thursday: A friend is bringing us dinner! She wanted to bring it to us when Elsie was born but kept having to reschedule. I told her we are fine and she doesn't need to worry about it, but she insisted!


Friday: Sloppy Joe Squares Total for this meal: $4.72

My friend Rachel gave me this recipe, but said to cut back on the brown sugar as it is very sweet. All I had to buy was the Crescent rolls ($4.72).


I also bought 2 gallons of milk, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, sweet potatoes, cheez-its, club crackers, veggie straws, coffee pods, mayo, a bottle of salad dressing, tomatoes, graham crackers, eggs, and bread. Total at the store: $87.26

June 17-23 Meals

This week Nathan told me that he is tired of casseroles. He said no more soggy food. So I delivered with these meals: Sunday: Sloppy Joes Total for this meal: $3.30 I had meat from our Sams Club haul still, bought buns ($2.00) and Manwich ($1.30). Normally I make my own and don't use the canned stuff, but this week I was feeling lazy. Monday: Steak Total for this meal: $16.23 Yes, steak. Normally we would have steaks out of the annual cow we get from Nathan's family but we have already eaten all of it, so I bought steaks. Big splurge but Nathan was tired of casseroles and he grills the steak so almost no work for me. Steak ($13.07), baked potatoes ($1.28), asparagus ($1.88). Tuesday: Beef Stir Fry  over rice  Total for this meal: $9.09 I follow the Pioneer Woman's beef with snow peas stir fry, but sometimes I use a broccoli slaw or stir fry mix instead of just snow peas. I had to buy beef ($6.59) and broccoli slaw ($2.50). Wednesday: We have small...

This Week's Meals

Here is my meal plan and grocery trip from this week. It's late because my dad was in town and I'm just now getting around to it. Oops! Also, full disclosure, I was a food hoarder. I bought stuff when it was a great deal and it filled my freezer and pantry and I would forget about things. I finally cleaned those both out and threw away (AH!) the stuff that was no good. Now I'm working my way through what I already have in my stock pile so some of these recipes look cheap because I already had most of the ingredients. Also there was a big sale of value packs of chicken, so this week is chicken heavy. Sunday:  Spicy Sausage Pasta  with salad - Nathan LOVES this meal! Total for meal: $6.45 - I already had sausage, but I had to buy rotel ($1.00), penne ($1.00), heavy cream ($1.95), and Monterrey cheese ($2.50). Monday: Roast with mashed potatoes, green beans, and  onion casserole   Total for meal: $2.49 - I already had the roast from a BOGO a few weeks ago a...

July 6-13

Alright, friends. I've fallen off the wagon right as I was gaining good traction. Woops! Between the holiday and my little boy catching Hand, Foot, and Mouth (aka a special kind of hell), I wasn't cooking well or blogging at all. Clearly. Anyway, here are my meals for this week! I'm going to switch it up and post Friday-Thursday, because typically I go to the store on Friday morning. I don't know why I picked that day, but it's working for me. Friday: Pot roast with potatoes, onions, and carrots Total for this meal: $14.31 Roasts were BOGO at the store ($7.13) , but I bought potatoes ($3.69) , carrots ($1.50) , and I was sucked into a seasoning packet ($1.99). Normally I make my own spices but I was lazy. Saturday: Stuffed Shells Total for this meal: $10.77 Jumbo shell noodles ($2.49), ricotta ($2.79), parmesan ($2.99), mozzarella ($2.50), jarred spaghetti sauce that I already had. Sunday: Beef Stroganoff Total for this meal: $14.38 Stew meat ($5.63)...
