I have all the goodies already in my pantry & freezer! YAY! Total cost for meal plan this week: $0


So what now?
Well, I did go to the grocery store & decided to restock my deep freezer. Although I have enough for my meal plan, I like to keep it well stocked. Plus, knowing I was going for the sole purpose of restocking the deep freezer (& knowing I had everything for this week) it helped curb the impulse to "splurge" or buy junk food.


So this week I spent a bit more than usual. But I bought enough to restock the basics for the month (at least on the meats, which is my biggest budget hurter). I looked for the best sales (esp. the buy 1 [meat item] get 8-9 sides free! at HEB (a local store here in Texas)).


Beef Fajitas (2)
Tyson Fun nuggets (2)
Eye of round steak (2)
BNLS Loin chops (7 pieces/pk  - 2 packs)
Chicken Drums
Salmon (2)
Chicken Breast-Cilantro (2)
Chicken Breast- Teriyaki (2)
Chicken Breast- Lemon (2)
5lb ground beef (2)
BNLS SKNLS Chicken Breast 4lb bags (2)


Re-stocking the deep freezer full of meats for 1 month: approx $100
