Menu plan and weekly shopping trip

So first off let me say that last week went not according to plan and even though we didnt get to eat what I had planned for Thursday or Friday we did still manage to not eat out. We pawned the kids on Grandma and Grandpa one day and the other we ate leftovers. So this week will have those two meals on the plan, we are not just eating the same stuck in a rut food.

Breakfast this week will be mostly quick on the go (cereal, fruit, muffins) withthe exception of Saturday which I intend to make my favorite Big Apple French Toast Casserole YUM!

Lunch will be the usual, withthe exception of I am packing lunches for Brian again! YAY for jobs!

Dinner
M - Tuna Noodle Casserole
T - Scalloped Potatoes & Ham
W - Crock Pot Taco Soup with Chips and sour cream
TH - Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta and Broccoli
F - Left Over buffet!
S - Roast Chicken and Veggies
S - Chicken Potpie (using left over roast chicken)

Okay so really I could have done with out the big box of goldfish but hey the kids need a treat now and then and whats better with PB&J than fish crackers! I also stocked up on ground turkey and fryer chickens since it was a good buy. I strive to be under $60 per week but somethings just cant be helped.
