We went to two different grocery stores today. We managed to go to Aldi and Save-a-Lot and were only gone for 2 hours. If hubby wouldn't have wanted to get something for lunch it would have been a lot quicker. I had something planned for lunch but we left a lot later because he got a few business calls before we left. So, what I had planned for lunch we are having for dinner. And what I was planning on tonight's dinner we will have for lunch tomorrow. We were going to have our leftover chili from Friday night's dinner on top of baked potatoes.
Here is what we had today
B-Fried oatmeal with homemade syrup (everyone loved it)
L- Taco Bell
D-Meat roll-up (bread made in bread machine with a meat mixture and a little cheese rolled up and baked) with a few veggies on the side
For around $225 today, I got enough food for dinners to last us until the end of the month. We will need to get more fresh fruits and veggies and dairy but I am hoping that it won't go over $100 for any of the other things we end up buying. The sides vary from fresh salads and frozen veggies to baked potatoes and canned veggies. Here is the list of dinner items I will be able to make for the rest of the month:
We will be having a special dinner since the Cowboys are in the playoffs- Chicken wings, little smokies, cheese dip and chips, and various appetizer items
Spanish Noodle Skillet
Nasi Goreng- a fried rice
Vietnam style Fried rice
Hamburger Stew
Chicken Cheese Casserole
Santa Fe Chicken
Potato Soup
Cheddar Chowder
Chili
Mexican Chili beans with chicken pieces
Barley Cabbage soup
Shrimp
Pork Chops two times
Calico Ham and Bean Soup
Roasted Chicken two times
Chicken with Honey Baked Lentils
Black Bean Soup
Homemade tortillas with beans and toppings a few times
Addictive sweet potato burritos, although I might reserve these for lunches
I don't have meals set for certain days mostly because I don't follow a menu very well. I end up with leftovers that need to be used or I forget to soak beans or I am out of an ingredient or .... I do much better when I just have a list of items I can make and go from there.
I need to go for now, my girls are waiting to play a game with me.

I just saw Welchs juice in the Aldi's ad for $1.87, so I'm going to take my ad to Walmart where I can use my $1 off coupon from last week's paper to get it for 87¢
