As you may remember last week my plan was to use up as much in my pantry and fridge so I could save as much money this month. Well I didn’t buy many groceries and I didn’t make all the meals I planned on making – so that should save me money this week. I didn’t plan on buying any meat last week but I bought a bag of frozen chicken breasts. When I got to the parking lot I realized I didn’t need them – but I figured I would still need them sometime this month. This week I only need to buy about a pound of ground beef.
So here’s my new meal plan. The meals with an (*) are meals from last week.
Breakfast
- Waffles
- Pancakes
- bagels
- banana nut muffins (I have lots of rips bananas)
- bacon egg and cheese sandwiches
- cereal
Lunch
- leftovers
- pizza muffins

Snacks
- muffins
- Pop-Tarts (we had a few boxes hidden in the pantry)
- Cookies (I have some packages in the back of the pantry)

- Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars*
Dinner
- Tacos Dorados (taquitos)
- Poppy Seed Chicken, Twice Baked Potatoes, green beans*

Tips:
Have a meat-less dinner and a crock pot dinner. I make the meat-less dinner when I forget to take something out for dinner. I use the crock-pot dinner when I know we have a busy day.
