I'm so tired of going over on my food budget. I'm determined to stick to it this month. So I'm having to think of things to cook that 1. are cheap and 2. are already in my pantry/fridge. It will be interesting to see what kinds of things are on my menu the last week of the month. Beans... rice... cold cereal...
M - Leftovers
T - Chicken Enchiladas Suizas
W - Baked Tortellini Soup (I never made this one last week because I couldn't bring myself to spend $6.50 (does this seem like a lot to anyone else?) on a pouch of tortellini. Now I realize that $6.50 is actually a good price for tortellini and since I've already purchased everything else I need I might as well bite the bullet and do it. This better taste really good.)
Th - Leftovers
F - Spaghetti
S - Pizza
S - Chicken Noodle Soup

Don't worry, you are not alone. I am always over my food budget. But lately, I been really good in staying with my budget by buying food in bulk and finding good food sales. Good Luck this month!
I would like to spend more on food but we use a set amount of cash each week and when it's gone that't it. Mostly we just don't get to eat a whole lot of meat other than chicken (and bacon if that counts as meat!) and ground beef but even that has to be on sale and then I freeze it in 1/2 lb. or 1 lb. batches. Good luck with your planning.
