Weekend Shopping & Monday Menu Plan

This week's shopping was $35.00. It was a little bit from Albertson's & Amazon Fresh, then yesterday at QFC & Fred Meyer. I got celery $1.89 & an onion $.79 from Amazon fresh. More than I like to pay, but I wanted to get some soup made and didn't want to wait 4 days until my planned weekend shopping. I also went to Albertson's mid-week for a quick pickup of: milk $5.89 ($3.99 coupon from cereal purchase 2 weeks ago) = $1.89 sirloin steak $8.01 ($2.00 clearance sticker) = $6.01 for 2.68 lbs formula $5.79 ($5.00 coupon) = $.79 candy bars = $.33 clearance I also had $8 off from coupons generated last week with specific purchases. These are the QFC & Fred Meyer groceries: Sugar - $2.49 ($.55 MC) = $1.94 Butter - FREE coupon Rosemary spice - $2.34 50% off sale ($.75 MC) = $1.59 Cheese - FREE coupon Whole Beans frozen - FREE coupon OJ - $.99 Peanut Butter - $1 each Eggs - $1.67 each 18-pack Frozen veggies - $.50 each Creamer - $2.50 sale ($.50 MC) = $2.00 Formula - $5.49 ($5.00 coupon) = $.49 Romaine - $1.25 Onions - $.48/lb Couscous - FREE coupon Hershey candy - FREE coupon (found in the coupon trade bin!) bananas - $.64/lb Cottage Cheese - $1.34 Baby Puffs - $1.67 (B1G1 coupon) = $1.67 each I actually was overcharged for the romaine. It was supposed to be $1, but the avocado code got entered by mistake. I looked at the line at the customer service counter and decided I'd rather lose the quarter than the 15 minutes and left. The menu this week is brief: Sunday - chicken enchilada casserole (we were supposed to have this last week, but made sausage gravy one night instead since a friend share biscuits with us) Monday - Stew & salad Tuesday - Baked Pasta & salad Wednesday - Mac'n'cheese pie Thursday - freezer meal (tbd) Friday & Sat - out of town Lunches will be leftovers and french toast one day - we have tons of leftovers from all the big meals I've been making and they are taking up room in the freezer! I was hoping to unplug the freezer before we leave town Friday morning, but I don't think I'll manage. Oh well. Maybe by the 1st of May! Katie
