Meal Plans

Meal plans are a necessary tool to save your time and money resources.   We are on a pantry challenge and in the second month.   We cleaned out the refrigerator freezer and found more things.  As careful as you can try, things will still get buried.

• Salmon, oven potatoes, mixed vegetables 
• Pizza
• Chicken pot pie 
• Pork sausage, acorn squash tomato and cucumber salad 
• Quiche  
• Pork chops w mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans. 
• Breakfast for dinner 

Notes: 

Salmon is some purchased at safeways 

Pizza is a mainstay that comes in at a dollar  a pizza plus toppings.  Pepperoni is  a dollar at the DT. 

Chicken pot pie used chicken breast bought for  a dollar a pound.   Mixed vegetables, again, a dollar a pound, 

Pork sausage thawed from freezer storage, it has been cooked and de fatted.  Replaced with two dollar a pound jommymdean sausage.  This one was free, 

Pork chops are from a pork loin that we purchased for a dollar a pound.  Cream of mushroom soup was .41, and mashed potatoes are 20 cents a pound, 

Breakfast for dinner is a family affair and everyone cooks. 

Last years calculations are in,  we spent almost five dollars under our 4 dollar a day budget of 56.00 a week.   We live in one of the highest COL states in the continental US.
