Menu Plan Monday 2/1-2/7----Welcome February!

Well, Last week's Baked Rice didn't turn out that great.  The flavors blended beautifully, but baking the rice was a failure.  If we try this again it will stay in the skillet to cook through and we'll skip the baking.

We also abandoned the Potato Soup today in favor of a Roasted Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and Cabbage-Yum!

MONDAY-Leftovers from Saturday's Spaghetti Meatball Dinner and Sunday's Roast Chicken Dinner

TUESDAY- Caribbean Nights Slow Cooker

WEDNESDAY-Leftover Caribbean Nights

THURSDAY- Frozen Pizzas and Salad

FRIDAY- Tilapia with Brown Rice and Summer Squash Casserole

SATURDAY-Roast Turkey with Sweet Potatoes and Apples

SUNDAY-Leftover Turkey Dinner

Shopping Week 1/23-1/29-Over Budget (AGAIN)!

I knew I would be over budget this week.  There were some great deals that I didn't want to miss out on.  Most weeks I can stay in budget and still get in on the deals that are great for my family, but every once in awhile there are a lot of great deals at once.  I always keep my fingers crossed for a slow week following one of these big weeks and so far it looks like that will be the case for next week!

How is this frugal?  I'm looking out for the best deals for the needs of my family.  Most deals run in cycles and I have a pretty good idea of how much of any particular item I need to last until the next cycle.  I also know that there are great sales weeks and weeks where I am not that excited about the deals.  If I go over budget this week to get in on the great deals, it is still better than going over when these products are full price and I am in dire need of them.  So, by spending a little more right now, I save in the long run.

Family Dollar: $2.32

Shoprite:$36.88

Target: $1.99

Walmart: $.62
