Meat is expensive and since you won’t have to buy any for awhile you should have a good shot at staying under $400. Way to go!
Thanks Jennifer!
Great Job! This week I scored at Tom Thumb on a manager special (clearance) for bacon cut at the butcher counter. 3 one pound packages 2.99 each and then 30% off of each. I was able to make 6 food saver bags of bacon w/8 pieces in each (enough for husband, me and 8yr old daughter) plus two bags w/3 pieces each for when I need bacon as a topping or in a casserole etc.
That’s great Mandy!
With what I had on hand I was able to buy my groceries for the week for $74.40. I may have to pick up a couple things (I’m sure I must have forgotten something lol) but I’m thrilled to have spent only $75 for the week. I probably have way more food than I need right now and may be able to get through some of next week with the leftovers and stuff already in the cabinets and fridge. I’ll also try to freeze some meals for the coming weeks.
Thanks for helping me get on track! I usually don’t get my grocery shopping done until Sunday but because of your meal plan and shopping preparation I was able to get it all done today (Friday). I’m just so happy and love knowing that the weekend is truly mine because I have the shopping and meal planning done. Thanks a bunch!
You are very welcome!
