I was hoping to go through another cookbook this week but some unexpected grocery expenses came up (medicinal stuff) so I am low on funds and for some reason, meat. This week I purchased $3.00 worth of chicken (I know, more chicken!) and my plan is to make meals using what I already have in the pantry. I may need an item or two from the store but I can't exceed $5.00 in spending since that's all the cash I have left :)
Here's what I came up with:
Monday: Chicken Pot Pie (need to purchase nothing)
Tuesday: Chicken Taco Bake (need to purchase black beans and Rotel $1.67)
Wednesday: White Bean Chicken Chili (need to purchase Great Northern Beans $0.67)
Thursday: Homemade Mac N Cheese (need to purchase nothing)
Friday: Birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese
Saturday: Spaghetti (need to purchase spaghetti noodles $1.00)
So it seems that I can feed our family for about $6.40 this week for dinner (including what I spent on the chicken) - talk about a budget saver!
Nice!!
