Meal Plans

Meal plans are an necessary tool  to save  time and money.  It’s one ofnthe things along with kitchen management that takes away a lot of the stress of making dinner during the busy dinner hour.


  • Christmas Eve:  green beans with blue cheese and oceans, or green beans with bacon on the side. 
  • Christmas breakfast: sparkling juice, waffles or French Toast, bacon, fruit, yogurt, English muffins, 
  • Pork roast, mashed potatoes. Green beans, 
  • Pork sliders , oven fries, 
  • Pizza
  • Enchaladas, rice, beans 
  • Breakfast for dinner 

We continue to have no spend.   Christmas Eve comes out of the entertainment budget.  Christmas Day is food at home.   Our average for the YEAR is under four dollars a day per person, and we still have a stock. We saved almostmfive dollars a week, 

Simplify your shopping list , make efficient scratch meals, buy groceries at their lowest orice, stock up on non perishables when they are cheap, and rotate buying protein in bulk. 

Try a soup  once or twice a week.  
Try breakfast for dinner .  We don’t mean cereal here, but a full diner breakfast will put you over.
Pizza costs a dollar a pizza.  Add topping from leftover meals.   
Pork and chicken are rmeoeated and varied over weekmbecaise with two of us, we use a larger piece of meat twice in the same week,   Pork roast becomes pork sliders.  Chicken breast becomes chicken pot pie and maybe chicken enchaladas or pizza.   
Portion control.  Portion control, portion control. Your waistline and your health will appreciate it.
