We are exactly one month into eating from our freezers and pantry along with a grocery budget of $50 a week or $200 a month.\u00a0 So far so good!\u00a0 We currently have $117 in our grocery fund since we started this the last week of December.\u00a0 I do have an Amazon order coming in this week which will push my grocery budget to $188 for the month! This week we are starting to pull items from all the freezers and it is noted that we will be out of several items like soy sauce and turkey for lunches in the next couple of weeks.\u00a0 This week we tried to add some different items to the menu just to have a variety.\u00a0 I don’t know how but we ended up with 2 “meatless meals” this week so hopefully everything will go as planned.<\/p>\n
Breakfast<\/strong>\u2013 Saturday-Pancakes and sausage\u00a0 \u00a0Sunday- Freezer meals that were not eaten on our two camping trips.\u00a0 Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -choice of breakfast muffins, eggs, pop-tarts, sausage, oatmeal, cereal or grits, breakfast burritos, or omelets.\u00a0 I will try to add in a baked oatmeal this week as well but that depends on how things are going. A week planned is a week we are likely to stay away from take-out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are exactly one month into eating from our freezers and pantry along with a grocery budget of $50 a week or $200 a month.\u00a0 So far so good!\u00a0 We currently have $117 in our grocery fund since we started … Continue reading
