I went grocery shopping today with my handy dandy list for all my recipes I had pinned for my menu planning. [shameless plug] Here is my Pinterest board for my Weekly Menu Planning. I made a change to it today, because I had forgotten that J and I had made a trip to the Asian market and we had gotten a package of 4 eggplants to split. So I changed up my edamame to eggplant for Wednesday.
I suppose I should clarify for anyone that might actually be following this. I am doing my menu planning roughly from Monday-Friday. Monday I am off work, and we usually do meatless Mondays at Js' place. I work Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday nights. I didn't make a mean for Thursday night because J always makes me lunch and brings it to me. I will probably bring snacks.
Anycrap, here is my amazingly small grocery bill, it really helped having a menu and shopping list to reflect it.
I was amazed! This is just for my food at home and for work during the week. It doesn't include any eating out that I do with J. That was still low this week though, about 25 bucks.
I made one of my recipes, the blueberry banana baked oatmeal tonight, so that I could put it up and munch on it the rest of the week. at $.52 cents a serving, I am gonna be eating some really yummy breakfasts this week!
Check them out!
I am not a fan of making something in a big pan and then eating off it the rest of the week (I am also not a leftovers loving person) so I made mine as individual little muffins, if you will. A couple of these with a glass of milk, or tea, or BOTH!
I am finally executing some menu planning, and am really excited about it!
