Menu Plan 9/1/08

Good news! I stayed in the grocery budget for August. I felt like we ate well, too. Now the next goal: to make it another month within the budget.

So, even though it is a new month already, I am going to see how little I can shop this week. Just for fun. See shopping list following the menu.

Breakfasts:
Healthy Baked Oatmeal w/ milk (see tip in the comments)
Bananas

Lunches:
PB&J Sandwiches
Tortilla Chips & Salsa

Ok, here is the plan. I know I will need to do a big shopping soon, but I am going to try to wait a little longer, first. Here is my list for this week:

(I am only buying the first 3 items below because they are on an exceptional sale. The pop is to have on hand for football season for when we go to our friends' house. The sugar I will use for baking. And the frozen pizza - well - that's for simplicity's sake.)

Pop - 3 @ $.59 ea.
Sugar - 1 @ $.99 (4 lb. ea.)

Frozen Pizza - 2 @ $1.99 ea.
Green Beans - 3 lb. @ $.99/lb.
Cantelope - 2@ $1.88 ea.

Bananas - 3 lb. @ $.44/lb.
24 Hour Allergy Meds - 1 (45 count) @ $9.99
Oatmeal - 1 @ $1.69

Total = about $30, including tax
