Groceries/Menu - January totals

Groceries this week = 147.86
I spent more because I made a stop at our local co-op which is a bit pricier than Wegman's. Then I got some items at Target. Plus, I still did a Wegman's stop as well.

January totals = 420.07/4 = 105.00/week (bc I didn't count the Jan 2nd which was over break)

Menu this week (better late than never)

Monday - we had soup and sandwiches
Tuesday - Chicken, mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli, and applesauce
Wednesday - Lime Chicken Taco salad
Thursday - Pierogies, apple sauce
Friday - Hamburgers, sweet potato fries

Groceries/Menu

This week's groceries totaled $78.02. I almost bought organic chicken but I just couldn't spend the money yet. I know I should do it but it is almost 4x as much and that makes it a difficult decision.

Groceries/Menu January Week One

We needed to do the shopping quickly this week on Monday after school. I went to Martin's and I sent my husband to get the rest from Walmart. The only reason I wanted him to go to Walmart was to get Hormel's Natural Turkey Breast because there are no nitrates in it. Anyway, he ended up getting ham AND the wrong kind. AHHHH Live and learn!

Breakfast - Choice of ...
Kris Kringle Pancakes*
Blueberry Breakfast Cake*
Cinnamon Toast

Lunch - Stay Tuned for Pics

Dinner
Pasta, broccoli, baked apples*
Broccoli soup* whole grain crackers, strawberries
Hamburgers and sweet potato fries
(Out for pizza - Ski School night with school)
Chicken Pot Pie *
