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), Cream cheese ($2.50), dollap of Sour cream ($1.67), French onion soup can ($1.79) all mixed in the crockpot and served over egg noodles ($2.79)



Monday: Spaghetti Total for this meal: $0

 I already had ground beef in the freezer, spaghetti noodles, and the rest of the sauce from Saturday night. Score!



Tuesday: Going out to eat. I'm tired of being stuck in the house! Total for this meal: $26.92 (Womp!)

Wednesday: Small group at church Total for this meal: A LOT!

 We are in charge of cooking though so I am doing kid friendly beef enchiladas with rice. It's just ground beef, jarred salsa, cheese all cooked in a skillet, rolled into tortillas and baked until warm and gooey! I had the rice already but I don't even know the total cost of the dinner because we bought stuff at SAMS along with a few household essentials. I'm guessing around $75 but we are feeding 26 people, so I feel like that's not too bad.



Thursday: Chicken Pot Pie Total for this meal: $1

 I already have most ingredients, so I only had to buy frozen veggies ($1)



I also bought Motrin, bread crumbs, bread, Ritz crackers, diced ham (BOGO) for eggs in the morning, eggs, pickles, lunch meat, pretzel crisps, a bell pepper, a salad for Nathan to take to work that night since we had been out of town, 2 gallons of milk, chicken nuggets, and 18 eggs. Total at the store: $139.60 Yikes!

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...
