After four weeks of having meals brought to me by the lovely ladies at my church, I took over full responsibility for our meals again last week. And since my last menu cycle was definitely a winter cycle and our weather is definitely NOT winter weather anymore, it’s time for a new menu cycle.
So, here’s our Spring/Summer 2020 Menu Cycle, Week 1, Take 1.
Sunday, May 17
Skillet Lasagna, Green Beans, Green Olives, and Berry Delicious Gelatin Salad
Monday, May 18
Crockpot Orange Chicken with Vegetables over Rice, and Pineapple Chunks
Tuesday, May 19
Tuna Melts, Copycat Popeyes Coleslaw, Potato Chips, and Mixed Fruit
Wednesday, May 20
Ham, Rosemary Scalloped Potatoes, Kaleslaw with Myrtle’s Salad Dressing, and Pears
Thursday, May 21
Salsa Chicken Burritos, Mandarin Oranges, Corn
Friday, May 22
Chef Salad with Sourdough Rosemary Peasant Bread
Saturday, May 23
Chicken and Broccoli Gravy over Baked Potatoes with Fresh Strawberries
At this point, the question is…how much did this cost us? Well, let’s take a look:
Friday, May 15
Walmart Pickup $92.67 $32.94
Monday, May 18
Sam’s Club Pickup $11.48
That’s $104.15 $44.42, which definitely falls within my weekly budget of ~$125. I think I’ll take it :-)
As I re-read this post, I thought $92 looked pretty high for the paltry groceries I got from Walmart – and that’s when I realized that I’d listed the cost of the next week’s grocery order instead of the one from Week 1. Oops!
