Safeway bargains are a lifesaver!

Ahhh, back from a lovely family vacation and time to jump into savings mode again.  Our brief pause from paying off debt was very much needed after working extremely hard on our goal for SOO many years.

Pantry Challenge, Organization & Menu Plan Monday

Day One!  I printed out my 'No Waste' menu planner as discussed yesterday.  A couple trips to the pantry and freezer and I was able to fill it out.  As you can see I squeezed in 2 more days, making it a 9 day week, getting us through the end of this month.  A little thinking and thumbing through Pinterest and I came up with our plan!  I will only need 3 things at the grocery store this week: cat litter, a jar of pasta sauce and some celery!  Thats a WIN!

Menu Plan Monday: Clean Eating & back to Budget: full week of dinner for 4 just $29

Menu Plan Monday; Candida Diet Style

My youngest has been showing small signs of yeast overgrowth for a long time, something she struggled with since birth...  I took an anti-biotic late in pregnancy and they generally cause this issue.....

Long story short, I think it would do my whole family some good to do an anti-yeast diet all week!

Menu Plan Monday... No-Spend March!

Whew- the best solution to organize my meals for the entire month was to just do it.  I printed out a calendar from a free site and got to work!

Menu Plan Monday- Dinner for 4 at $25 a week!

I did all my grocery shopping for this pay-period yesterday. That post here!  I spent about $180 and will use those groceries along with what we already have to organize our Menu for the next 2 weeks.  This leaves me still $100 to pick up produce and other items (dog food!!) 'til the 15th.  I will make this work- no problem!

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