After begin so far over budget last month, you would expect us to have lots of food and items to choose from. Unfortunately, this is not the case, mainly because of the way I shop.\u00a0 We are heading on vacation\u00a0 next weekend and my plan is to not shop for groceries until after our return. This should help reduce\/contain the bill for August. So this week is about using fresh items and cleaning out the pantry so to speak.<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/strong>-Cereal,\u00a0Poptarts, grits, French \u00a0toast, breakfast burritos and maybe some baked Oatmeal to help.<\/p>\n Lunch- <\/strong>Leftovers, sandwiches, dipping day at least once. I made a batch of egg salad and chicken salad on Saturday so sandwiches are the main choice for the week. If needed we have bowls of Mac and Cheese as well as crackers that could be come lunch easily.<\/p>\n Dinner<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0Focus on smaller meals with little to no leftovers to toss.<\/p>\n Saturday- Lunch:\u00a0Egg Salad and Chicken salad on Ritz crackers, because we had no bread. \u00a0 Dinner- Pasta salad with pork, watermelon cantaloupe..<\/p>\n Sunday- Lunch-\u00a0Cowboy beans. \u00a0Dinner-Chicken salad sandwich on fresh sour dough bread. Currently we have about 1\/4 a gallon of milk left and are out of several of the kids favorite foods but they are leaning to eat what is on hand. I am hoping to grab an awesome deal on lunchables to use when school starts so at least they have something to look forward to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After begin so far over budget last month, you would expect us to have lots of food and items to choose from.
