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.
