The door to our pantry is painted in chalkboard paint. I use this spot as the place where I record our weekly meals.
There is a lot of food in our house. I spent five minutes and did a little inventory of the meals we have in the freezer, and food on hand.
Romaine lettuce is a staple here for salads, remember you have to eat this quickly before it goes bad.
I bought supplies to make an Epicure Thai meal for dinner with a friend on Saturday night. I will make a different Thai dish for dinner using up the fresh supplies.
I cut the ends off of it and stick it in water for longer shelf life in the fridge.
I recently bought a second deep freezer to store prepared frozen meals. There are half a dozen turkey soups, pink sticker pizzas, and prepared Chinese Food kits that were on sale a few weeks ago and bonus Airmiles.
This week we are eating out on Friday. A friend gave us 2 free large pizzas at a restaurant in town in exchange for a coupon session. To upgrade to garlic fingers is $8.05 after taxes so I recorded that amount to come out of our budget. I will use the entertainment budget vs the food budget, the choice is up to you.
On the weekend we are going to the city for the day. We are going in just before lunch. We will bring snacks and a sandwich on the drive in, and for supper we will go to Superstore Grocery Store.
Happy meal planning
** We ordered Hamburger from a local farmer. It is a bit more per pound but delicious! I suggest looking for a deal like this in your area.
