Meal Plan Monday – Oct. 5th

Budget: $400 a month
Current spending: $304
$96 left till Oct. 20th

So I had a few extra purchases this week because I have to buy some long shelf life items. They are going to go in an emergency pack that will stay at my work. Since the employees have to stay there till all the kids are safely with there parents, I will need some food there :)

Here is my meal plan for the week: (Take a look at other menus at orgjunkie.com!)

These dinners came from the September menu from Once a Month Mom.

Last Week Review:

Beef Stew – This was an average stew. The green beans were interesting since I have never had them in stew before. Not sure if I would put them in stew again though.

Carole’s Chili- This was really tomatoy (is that a word? ) It turned out better using it like a sloppy joe.

Mexican Cornbread Casserole – This was good but a little on the sweet side for me.

Corn Dog Muffins- Oh my these were so good. They were good cold and warm and they were really easy to make. I will be making them again. I wonder if there is a way to sneak some veggies in….

    Long shelf-life foods are definitely worth investing in! Also, not sure if you are including bulk item purchases in your $400 tally for the month, but if you are then it would be natural for this month’s expenditures to be slightly higher as you stock up. It definitely does make a difference though! Love following your progress on this, I think you can make it.
