Menu Plan Monday! A week of Dinners for 4 just $27

Menu for this week..... will be BUDGET ORIENTED!  My car need almost four thousand dollars of service.  Holy Ouch!  Gonna pull the drawstrings in and tighten back up our food budget...  saving money this week will make me feel much better about my car bill!

Honestly- they actually asked if we even wanted to fix it or consider a new car instead.  "FIX IT!"  we said.  For crying out loud, Dave Ramsey could be listening!

So, we get to pay $4,000.00 toward car repairs this week.  On a sailors income we don't even bring in that much in a single month.  Awesome.

Lets see what we can manage on the cheap, using only what we have on hand!  (unless I need a produce run- gotta keep our health as a priority too!)

Monday:

Jar Minestrone Soup, ($1.85) from the pantry.  Homemade bread (usually about $1)

Tuesday:

Baked cod (from the freezer, was a gift= free) 4 baked potatoes .80, roasted broccoli $2

Wednesday:

African Peanut Stew ($6) Green salad, big bag from Costco ($1)

Thursday:

Freezer Frittata! ($2.50)

Friday:

Homemade pizza- crust in the bread maker (.75) and lots of cheese ($2)...  add any toppings we can scrounge up($1)

Saturday:

Butternut squash soup (3 cans at .33 each if you remember my Grocery Outlet post = $1)  1lb chicken in the crockpot ($2.50) curry spices (leftover homemade bread from monday- will pull from freezer)

Sunday:

Pasta($1) and Sauce($1) with veggies, steamed ($1.50)  also hoping to use my new spiral noodle thingy on some zucchini or something fun!  (.75)  Top all with lots of cheese ($.75)

The GRAND TOTAL for my weeks dinner Menu is just: $27.40.

Killer cheap, right?

All you need is a little organization, prepping ahead of time, support and knowledge!
