There are always those months when money is tight. An unexpected car repair, a medical bill, or whatever the expense might be, there are times where I have to cut the grocery budget and use up what we have. So, at times like these, I go to the cupboard and freezer and make a list of what we have. Here is what I found:
pasta sauce, alfredo sauce, spanish rice, chicken rice, Velvetta skillet meal, refried beans, white corn tortillas, macaroni elbows, cream of chicken soup, tomato sauce, creasant rolls, cheese, frozen bread dough, frozen veggies, frozen egg noodles, Canadian bacon, creamy mashed potatoes, hash browns, frozen diced chicken, ground beef
It's time to get creative!
Monday: Spaghetti noodles with Alfredo sauce and frozen diced chicken, salad, bread, apples
Tuesday: Beef/bean burritos topped with lettuce, Spanish rice
Wednesday: Velvetta boxed meal (add hamburger), California blend with cheese, leftover bread, apples
Thursday: Chicken creasant rollups, green beans, banana slices
Friday: leftovers
Saturday: Lunch-Pizza, salad Supper-Out
Sunday: Lunch -Roast, baked beans, bread, baked potato
Supper-Soup and sandwiches
