My Menu this Week.....

I have been so busy focused on deals I have not shared my menu ideas in a long time.  So I thought I would share my menu for this week.

I tend to only share dinner ideas because I hate making breakfasts and lunches.  So there isn't much creativity there.  Also I love trying new meal ideas but can't afford to make a mistake.

I LOVE Mel's Kitchen Cafe.  You will see I use a lot of her recipes because I know I can trust them.  So here are my dinner ideas.

SATURDAY: 

Date Night kids get pizza

SUNDAY:

• Crock Pot Roast Chicken Rotisserie Style or Simple (Whole Chicken on sale Sunflower Market for .67/lb)
• Mashed Potatoes (Walmart is selling them for about 1.27 a 10 pound bag)
• Green Salad
• Homemade Rolls (Don't make rolls?  I always scan the day old bakery rack for a deal on rolls)

 MONDAY:

• Pulled Pork Sandwiches (Ream's has a Pork Roast on sale for 1.19/lb)
• French Bread Rolls for Sandwiches  (Most of the time I don't have time to make rolls so I check the day old rack at the store for a good price and stick them in my freezer to keep them fresh
• Corn on Cob (Ream's for .25 ea)
• Twice Baked Potatoes (Again Walmart has been selling a 10 pound bag for about 1.27)

 

 TUESDAY

• Cheesy Skillet Chicken and Rice with Green Beans (On sale at Smith's 1.99/lb or Fresh Market Chicken Breasts with Bone about 1.00/lb)

• Here is how I am going to get the best price for the ingredients in this meal:  Will be shopping at Walmart and I am going to use this coupon for the cheese and get a good price at Walmart.  Rancho has mushrooms for .99 a package and will price match those.  Ream's has their frozen veggies for a good deal with their case lot sale so I will price match and buy a case worth.

• Homemade Rolls  (Don't make rolls?  I always scan the day old bakery rack for a deal on rolls) 
• Fresh Fruit (Sunflower has grapes for .67/lb, Macey's has cantaloupe for .25/lb)

WEDNESDAY

• Hamburger Soup (Ground Round 1.78/lb Macey's)
• Other ingredients I will price match at Walmart (Celery .88 at Sunflower, Canned Tomatoes any case lot sale has a good price, Free corn from Smith's case lot sale on Libby's vegetables, Walmart best price on potatoes)
• Homemade Bread  or a loaf of French bread from store
• Green Salad

THURSDAY

• Meatballs with Cream Sauce (Ground Round 1.78/lb Macey's)
• I will use my dried spices, not fresh to save on money.  When I get a chance I will make stop at Winco for their bulk section.  I stock up on items such as spices and pasta noodles.  I buy my oats from the LDS dry pack cannery but Macey's is having a sale on Quaker Oats)
• Cooked Veggie (Ream's case lot sale)
• Homemade Bread from Wednesday
