Sunday Meal Plans

Meal plans are a necessary part of being organized and maintaining a low cost grocery expense.  We all have to eat and using time and money wisely, you can eat well without breaking the budget.

Using what you have and need to use up is a good basis for plans as well as a matrix that keeps things interesting.  Last week, we ate brats three days in a row because I neglected to separate the package into meal sized portions and they were frozen, so I couldn’t refreeze them.  I switched the ingredients so at least there was a variety! Lol

• Lemon pepper chicken pasta (BC) 
• Pizza
• Breakfast for dinner 
• Hamburgers, oven fries, salad 
• Fajitas, tortillas, rice 
• Meatball stew , rolls 
• Vegetable bean soup, rolls 

Notes 

• Lemon pepper chicken uses spaghetti and is a Betty Crocker on line recipe, 
• Pizza is a mainstay.  Cheese pizza made with RBP ingredients costs about a buck.  Adding leftover bits bumps it up. 
• Hamburgers were purchased  at 2.50 per pound,   Bins left from last week.   Air fried French fries have no fat added.   Tomato, cucumber, lettuce salad. 
• Fajitas are chicken from breasts, and peppers  purchased for .50. Rice cooked with tomato powder. 
• Meatballs are purchased for 2.00 for almost a pound at Winco,   Fast insta pot meal, 
• Vegetable bean soup is my own recipe,   Rolls are scratch . 
• Breakfast for dinner is a family meal.  Everyone cooks.
