This week is back to the normal busy routine. The weather is turning cooler so I am starting adding a soup day to most weeks. The challenge for the next two weeks is to use the groceries we have on hand and make a good list of\u00a0items needed \u00a0on the first of October. I currently sit at $306 spent on groceries and that included buying a gallon of milk for this week.<\/p>\n
Check out this awesome list of ways to use food and not waste<\/a>, written by a friend of mine.<\/p>\n Now on to the menu plan<\/p>\n Breakfast<\/strong>\u2013 French toast, toast with new jelly, yogurt, \u00a0cereal, poptarts, grits or donuts at least for Monday and Tuesday. . Zach has been grabbing applesauce or canned fruit for breakfast as well.\u00a0 Sunday morning- Breakfast Omelet<\/p>\n Lunch- <\/strong>For some odd reason, we have one Lunchable left in the fridge but no one wanted it this week.

Our lunches include homemade chicken dunks, tomato, ranch and cheese, sandwiches\u00a0one day,\u00a0and a “grab day” which means crackers for most. I am going to\u00a0take leftovers and Matt is eating these as well.<\/p>\n Dinner<\/strong>\u2013Things are going really well with me arriving at home\u00a0 for dinner most nights of the week.<\/p>\n Saturday- Lunch:\u00a0McDonalds (profits from yard\u00a0sale)\u00a0. \u00a0 Dinner- Hamburger Helper (we had the meat left from Thursday, we ended up eating our leftovers from Olive Garden).<\/p>\n Sunday- Lunch-\u00a0My parents\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Dinner-Pepper Steak using fresh peppers!<\/p>\n Monday-\u00a0Rice Creola It just occurred to me that we are have rice three times this week.
