I returned from my vacation with a carload of food! Since we were the only family driving home (not flying) we were given all the leftover food from the weekend. So I am creating my menu around all of the free food we were given in order to use it up and keep my grocery bill low this week. Since I met my February grocery goal, I decided to make a March grocery goal too. My goal for March is $575 dollars. I will keep a running total in my sidebar for anyone who is interested.
Anyway, here is my menu plan for this week. Free food is in italics.
Breakfasts- cereal, pancakes, eggs, french toast, oatmeal
Lunch- leftover free food, sandwiches, muffins, smoothies
Dinner
Monday- pork loin, mashed potatoes, broccoli, apple crisp
Tuesday-cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole, salad
Wednesday- spaghetti, french bread
Thursday- Leftovers
Friday- Pizza
Saturday- Chicken Cordon Bleu, veggies, rice, bread
Thank goodness last month we ate out of our pantry and fridge or we wouldn’t have had room for any of this food!
