I've been working on our grocery budget again by reading Family Feasts for $75 a week. I must say there are some really good tips in the book besides the normal coupon tips you see or read about. I especially found her break down of meat costs and canned items helpful. My favorite tip so far has been buying the bagged beans instead of canned and freezing them, something I would of never thought of on my own. She even has a tip in there about cooking them in your crockpot in which I have utilized all week long and got really excited when shopping at Super wal-mart and found 1 lb of beans on clearance for .60 cents which is about equivalent to 10 cents a can. Beans are a staple in our house we use beans in pretty much everything from soup, chili, to casseroles. It's the Texan in me and the love of Mexican and Tex-Mex food.
So this week's Menu-
Tonight-Bringing the Enchiladas over from last week.
Tuesday-Tuna Casserole
Wednesday- Roast in Crockpot
Thursday- Veggie Soup with the leftover Roast
Friday- Leftovers(maybe)
Saturday- Homemade Pizza Night
