Family Meal Plan (2-21-11)

Click here to see previous week's Family Meal Planning! 

Here's to another week of living on a $150 grocery budget and becoming debt free. We are "living like no one else, so later we can LIVE LIKE NO ONE ELSE" (Dave Ramsey).

Last week was a little slower and a little less stressful in my life. I hope all of you had an easy week too! The $150 did not stretch so much at the store this weekend, so I will reach back in the freezer once again, good thing I have a good stock pile going. I went just to Costco and the Farmer's Market and the money was GONE. Yep, that quick and all I got was the MUCH needed items. Butter, Water, Eggs, Fruits & Veggies and a few essentials.

But, as you can see from my menu below, we are not eating poor. We have some GREAT meals lined up this week and a few of everyone's favorites. G'ma's Simple Spaghetti (we always have hamburger meat and noodles on hand); Poor Man's Garlic Bread (buns from the freezer); Loyd's BBQ Ribs (bought on sale and stored in the freezer for a raining day, like today); and yep, a HOMEMADE Turkey coming this weekend (I got this for $5 bucks, around the holiday's and now it's a perfect time to cook it up). We will be sure to have a Turkey sandwiches next week and a few other meals like a Homemade Turkey Pot Pie; absolutely scrumptious.

Here is our Family Meal Planning for this week. I'd love to hear if you have any short cuts, tricks or tips.

Check back and we will link the actual recipe!
