Budget Meal Planning - October 17, 2016

Monday, October 17, 2016 AnnMarie Brown 0 Comments





Fall weather is here!

Time to get my slowcooker going to make evenings easier for my family. With different activities scheduled in the evening after work things still feel a bit rushed. It can be hard to balance our family schedule with home cooked meals  but it is not something I am willing to not do. 


Planning our meals help me stay on budget and allows us to eat better on a daily basis. I have a fair bit of money I have not spent yet this month because we are planning a trip to costco this week so we need that money to stock up.

BUDGET $50 + $61.10 (leftover from previous weeks) = $111.10
Iceberg Lettuce - 0.99
Peppers - 2.00
Oatmeal - 2.00 x 2
Bread - 2.49
Milk - 4.27
Cheese Slices - 2.99
Cream Cheese - 2.99 
Cereal - 2.00
Chips - 5.00
Bananas - 2.72
   
Total $29.45
