- Pizza
- Pork sliders, corn on the cob, salad
- Mac and cheese, peas and carrots : a blast from the past.
- Chicken bake, rice
- Tacos, Spanish rice
- Breakfast for Dinner.
Notes :
- Wash floor
- Clean out the refrigerator and dump anything dead.
- Make note of things that need to be used up soon.
- Wash counter tops and sinks and drains, disinfect.
- Wash the carrots for peas and carrots. Use frozen peas and fresh carrots: buying whole carrots instead of the ‘baby ‘ ones saves a lot of money. A farmer years ago realized that he was having a trouble selling the not so perfect carrots. His solution was to make baby carrots and pay for a marketing campaign. The end result was that carrot producers are getting a dollar or more a pound for their carrots when whole carrots are 5 lbs for 2.28. Double the price .
- Straighten the pantry.
The cost on meals for 2 people. Note this is for a reasonable dinner, we aren't feeding a 17 yo linebacker. Cost would be more for growing childcare or very active adults.

Its not as much what you buy, but when and where you buy it.
Admittedly, this if for 2 adults that are not really active. Portion control is a must. That being said, the total is sooo low, that even if you have big eaters, you would still be in budget .
