The month of February has been a lot off in many ways and I am looking forward to the new month! I have to\u00a0admit that we had two rules for eating in February: 1) leftover clean out and 2) convient.\u00a0Last week we ended up eating pizza bites and cheese sticks one night followed by Hamburger Helper the next. This weekend although busy, I feel like we have gotten back on track. Matt and I spent some time this afternoon making a new menu plan for the month.\u00a0. The most impressive part is that we only repeated a couple of meals and I have at least 2 new meals to try out.<\/p>\n
The Plan:<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0 Saturday-donuts\/poptarts, Sunday- Bacon-Egg and cheese biscuits. Choice of muffins, toast, cereal or pop-tarts. I need to restock the breakfast choices over the next couple of weeks because we have really been cleaning out. One disadvantage for this week is that we currently have 2 eggs left in the fridge. I plan to either go to Aldi or Costco on Thursday depending on how the week shapes up. Until then we will be eating something just not eggs.<\/p>\n Lunch-<\/strong>I was\u00a0 able to get the kids lunches packed in addition to a couple of salads for my lunch as well<\/p>\n Dinner-<\/strong>\u00a0 Saturday- Lunch- East Coast Wings (after Cheer Competition) .\u00a0\u00a0 Dinner-\u00a0Leftover\u00a0s As\u00a0 you will see in the update tomorrow, we have managed to keep the grocery budget for the month to $510 which means a total of $700 for the year. We are definitely telling a difference in the cabinets and freezers. But with a month of planning already complete, we should be able to keep the budget low again!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The month of February has been a lot off in many ways and I am looking forward to the new month!
