Last week I went to the store and pretty much blew my entire budget on one week's worth of meals and two weeks worth of snacks. But with a house full of teenagers, and usually extras, the snacks are depleting faster than I had planned.
In conjunction with the Eat From The Pantry Challenge,
and due to the fact that I really just don't have much more money to spend on groceries, I have gone through our freezer and pantry and have come up with meals that will just get us through until the next pay period. I will also be making some homemade snacks to finish out the week.
Monday ~ Hot ham/turkey and cheese sandwiches and pasta salad
Tuesday ~ Lemon pepper chicken and rice
Wednesday ~ FFY
Thursday ~ Cheesy meatballs over pasta
Friday ~ Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper
Saturday ~ Open faced turkey sandwiches (didn't get to this last week)
Sunday ~ Thick french toast and turkey bacon (didn't get to this last week)
sounds like a great eat from your pantry week! what homemade snacks are you going to make?
ReplyDeletehope your money matters work out! sometimes i just HATE money!
The open faced turkey sandwiches sound good!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your financial blow. We just got one, too! Our health insurance just went up again!
I was going to officially do this Challenge too but wasn't sure I could do it. Maybe one day I will get the courage to try.
