Check out my weekly Meal Plan and Grocery List May 17
Sorry I am a late this week in getting this posted, but I am trying to get my recipes posted on the site for easy reference and that still hasn't happened!! I will get them uploaded as soon as I can! I did add pictures below though :)This week I will shop 2 stores (Tops and Aldi) but I do not need too many things— both of my freezers are full!!
So with all of that, here is my weekly Meal Plan:
You can print a version of this here–> May 17 cfyf meal planGet a blank copy to make your own meal plan here–> CouponsForYourFamily Blank Meal PlannerHere are some pics until I get the recipes on the site 🙂Newmans Italian Sausage Sauce that I stocked up on with 20 jars a few weeks ago. I just added the left over Sausage. Peppers and Onions from Sundays Dinner with Rigatoni I have stocked in the pantry. BBQ Pork Chops from when Pork Loins were $1.99 I had in my freezer, along with Fresh Squash and Zucchini with Garlic and Italian BreadDorito Taco Salad with Ground Beef had in my freezer from when $1.99 lb, Taco seasoning in pantry and fresh veggies and the Doritos from last weeks Tops Sale!Homemade Sub Sandwiches with Sara Lee Honey Turkey and Sahlens ham, Hellman's Mayo on sale at Tops this week, along with Margherita Salami from freezer that I only buy when B1G1!. These subs we make have to be on Tops French Bread (its the best!) and toasted in the oven. They are sooo good and super easy to make!
Italian Pasta Salad– I use whatever pasta I have or the Pasta from Suddenly Salad (without the flavoring) and then add veggies on hand, cheese, pepperoni and italian dressing. Kraft dressing on Stock up sale prices at Tops this week after Gas Points! Brownie Sundaes with Betty Crocker brownie mix from pantry that I got for free-$.25 at Tops along with ice creamHere is a checklist of the items on sale for my weekly meal plan:
Total Cost for these items should net to be $59.04, which is figuring 12 boxes of cereal, 6 bottles of dressing, and everything else below plus I included the Zatarain Rice because it is a perfect quick side dish and free this week (price is still $1/1 in store)!If you are following our Coupon Matchups and stocking up on items when they are on a deal, this is easy to accomplish every week. However, that does not include beverages, spices, butter, etc. So that is why I allow our budget to be around $125 week but that includes all beverages, snacks, household items such as laundry and personal care items and I have a large family!

Thanks for the help with the meal plan and grocery list. I work a lot of late hours and it really helps to have a list I can give someone or can pickup quickly myself.
I have to make so many decisions on a daily basis that I don't want to make any more once I get home (or I make bad choices!)
