Menu Plan Monday

Well, last week when I planned my menu, I didn't take into consideration that it was the first week of Lent. So, we had to shuffle the menu a bit and some of the meals I had planned last week were moved to this week.

I headed out to Giant Eagle today to do my weekly shopping. I saved 51% after sales and coupons. In addition, I have $7 in catalinas for my next visit. Normally, I would try to split my transaction to get the catalinas on the first transaction and use them on the second, but decided that I could just plan to shop there again next week to use the coupons before they expire. I was a bit bummed, as the woman who bagged my groceries overloaded one of my freezer (insulated) bags and when I pulled it out of my car, it split open. Thankfully, nothing fell out of the bag, but now I have to replace that bag or just be resigned to having only two freezer bags (and only one with a working zipper).

At our house, the focus is on dinners. I tend to only list the main course and any standard side we have with it. We do still have vegetables and/or fruit with each of our dinners, I just don't always call them out.
