Meal Planning

This is the last week of the month... which means all my planning and special budget spreadsheeting is coming to the test. Did I do it right? and Do we have enough? Have been bouncing around in my head like little ping pong balls of questions.

I was anxious to just get to the store and find out! I never head right to the store though; here are my plans for the week.

I want to buy some things because they are on sale and/or I have a coupon, like Tuna Fish, Frozen Pizza, Contact Solution, Coffee Creamer, and Instant Oatmeal.

I want to buy some things because we need them, like Milk and Peanut Butter.

I am trying to combine the things that are on sale with things we already have to make a menu that doesn't require purchasing too many more things.

Menu Planning:

Monday:

NY Strip Steak, Roasted Red Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus

Tuesday:

Leftovers from last week for Chris & Tuna Sandwich for Mel

Eating out at our favorite Thai Restaurant with some favorite friends

Wednesday:

Eating out with some more amazing friends (Eating out twice in a week!)

(Leftover) Steak Quesadillas with Grilled Pepper and Onions.

Thursday:

Black Bean Salad & Cheese Quesadillas

California Pizza Kitchen Frozen Pizza

Friday:

Pita Pizzas
