What We are Eating this Week and How Much We Spent on Groceries Dec 12 -Dec 18

A little less was spent on groceries this week. So far our total is $123.05 down about $20 from last week and honestly I feel like we got more for our money.

The most expensive of the items purchased by far was the 3 lbs of ground beef at about $15. The store I shop at still has the 5 for $20 deal on certain meats which is pretty amazing considering the price of meat currently. Just a note of caution. Always check your receipt! I was overcharged for the Clementines by $3.00 which isn’t a ton but I would not have bought them unless they were on sale. No worries though, stuff happens and I will get my money back.

Meals planned for the week are:

Dinners

Tacos
Asian meatballs with rice
Flatbread pizzas
Stuffed split chicken breasts with potatoes and veggies
Grilled pork tenderloin with stuffing and grilled veggies
Grilled thick cut pork chops with mushroom gravy
Grilled sandwiches

Lunches

Leftovers everyday

Breakfasts

PBJ toasted
Oatmeal with Fruit
Eggo waffles
Cereal
Breakfast Sammies
Cereal Bars

Snacks

There isn’t a lot of meal prep to do this week so yay!!
