Menu Plan Monday

We don't have a specific budget for groceries at our house. We recognize that there are weeks like last week, where we only picked up a couple of items, and weeks where we stock up. I made my regular weekly trip to the store this morning. It was a pretty average trip to the store - about $55 for milk, juice, fruits, vegetables, bread, yogurt, ingredients for dinner and some other miscellaneous items like napkins. The best deal I got was 8 pouches of Starkist Albacore Tuna for $3.50 (or $.44 each). Not bad considering the regular cost would have been $12 ($1.50 each).

At our house, we don't eat breakfast or lunch together during the week, so there is minimal planning that goes into those meals. For us, the focus is dinner.

Weekdays breakfast is at daycare for my daughter, the rest of us eat cold cereal, frozen waffles, oatmeal, toast or whatever strikes our fancy. Lunch we pack, usually leftovers for me. My son either packs or buys lunch at school. If he packs, it is generally a lunch meat sandwich or a PB&J with some sides.
