Last week's meal plan was nothing too spectacular, thanks to J's work schedule, a full day of church events, and my mom's birthday.
Sunday: steak, carrots, ranch style beans
Monday: Mom's birthday (dinner at my grandmother's house)
Tuesday: J worked...leftovers for us
Wednesday: J worked...leftovers
Thursday: Artichoke chicken (I left out the mushrooms and substituted oregano for rosemary)
Friday: Chicken nuggets and fries
Saturday: J worked...church events for me
I did go to the store on Saturday and spent around $15....bringing my total for the month to around $45. I picked up milk, cheese, eggs, and a few basic necessities. Things are definitely getting low around here, so I'm learning to skimp. The oil/spray bottle thing is still working for Pam, I'm rationing my foil (using ziploc baggies/tupperware for most things), and our paper towel usage is waaayyy down thanks to cloth napkins/rags. I also have learned that, if I steep my tea much longer, that 3 teabags works just as well as 4. Tea is our primary drink right now, so I try to keep a pitcher in the refrigerator as much as possible.
We still have quite a bit of meat from the meat bundle and, while there isn't much variety of snacks, etc, we're doing fine. Next weekend, we get a new Angelfood ministries box, so that will help stretch things a bit. :)
