We have an electric hookup even though we're tent camping, so that will make cooking much easier. I'm planning to bring our grill, toaster, and blender.
Here's the plan for 6 breakfasts:
Pancakes & Bacon
Pancakes & Sausage
Skillet with egg, potato, ham & cheese
Bagels with cream cheese & ham
Cold cereal x 2
6 lunches:
Mac'n'cheese
Hot Dogs/Sausages x 2
Grilled Cheese
PB & J x 2
2 Dinners for 10 adults & 5 kids (other nights will be provided by other folks):
Mexican Taco Bar (chips, tortillas, lettuce, beef, beans, rice, tomato, cheese, sour cream, etc)
Beef Stew & Biscuits (Beef, carrots, potatoes, corn, beans & rolls)
I already had lots of the ingredients for these meals and only needed a few supplemental things. I got sucked into a trip to QFC because I got a $5/$25 coupon that expires before we get back from camping. I bought very little I needed (but plenty we'll use) trying to get to the $25 mark. It struck me while I was shopping that I was using the coupon to get 20% off my purchase since I aim right for $25 and it was just like shopping at Top calculating the discount. I actually felt like my efforts at Top were kind of a pain for only 5 more percent. At any rate, Here's what I got for $20.18:
All those yogurt were $.30 each with dates August 25 or later.
1/2 gallon organic milk was on clearance for $2.23
Bananas $.59/lb
Organic strawberries $2.99 (for strawberry shortcake with guests)
Canteloupe $.38/lb
5# onion $3.99 (actually needed these for camping)
Somewhere my math was off and my total was only $23.68 at the checkout instead of at least $25 so I threw in $1.50 worth of candy bars to get over $25.00. I figure after the discount $.40 is OK for a candy bar and I'm pregnant so I'm allowed.
