Food Budget
Our food budget is $100 per week for groceries, plus $200 for Costco. (or less for weekly and more on Costco, but total spending should be $600) Meals out are limited to $200 per month.
Good news! I didn't go grocery shopping at all last weekend (mostly because I ran out of time) so it end up I can make a week's worth of meals out of the pantry/fridge/freezer. We did, however, go out twice. Once because we were just too tired to cook, and then for pizza and beer after church.
Menu Plan:
Sunday: Grill! Steaks, potatoes, and tomato salad
Monday: Pasta with roast vegetables
Tuesday: Flounder with dill yogurt sauce, potatoes, peas
Wednesday: Curried chicken and rice salad
Thursday: Husband is eating out, so I'll make do with leftovers
Friday: Scallops with tomato and capers
Saturday: Pot roast (with enough for a meal next week)
Breakfast: Oatmeal, or eggs on toast, or smoothies
Lunch: leftovers from previous night's dinner or salad
Snacks: Crackers and cheese, fruit, yogurt
