March is going to an interesting month to say the least. First, I am once again planning to keep the grocery budget extremely low. One of the biggest way that this is happening is that we receive our American Express “reward” in the form of a Costco check. My goal for the month is to restock using this reward and $150. I am excited to say that so far I have spent less than $75.

Now on to menu planning: This weekend was different for us as we spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday out of town. We ate only 2 paid meals out. In more good news, I was able to restock some of our breakfast foods!

Breakfast–  Saturday-French toast, Sunday- hotel. Choice of muffins, toast, cereal or pop-tarts, French toast, grits, baked oatmeal  and breakfast burrito.

Lunch-I was able to get the kids lunches packed in addition to a couple of salads for my lunch as well. I have been purchasing lunch several days a week the past couple of weeks but this week it is back to packing from home!

Dinner-  Saturday- Lunch- PF Changs .   Dinner- Wraps and chips
Sunday- Lunch- Crackers, chips and cookies.  Dinner- Cracker Barrel
Monday- Salisbury Steak, rice and green beans
Tuesday-Cheeseburger Pie
Wednesday- Paula Deen Mac and cheese, Grilled Spam
Thursday- Shrimp alfredo or Turkey breast
Friday- Green Chicken Enchilla

Back to a plan!
