WEEK 1

OK so today is my big grocery shopping day. I have $100 in my wallet and my smallest grocery list ever. I started first by going through my cupboards, fridge and freezer and then from there planned out my meals for the week. We have a pretty decent food storage built up and I guess we should start using it. 

Monday- Leftover from Sunday

Tuesday- Shakes and my most favorite salad

Wednesday- Chicken Alfredo and Cesar Salad

Thursday-Leftovers and Shakes if there are not a lot of leftover

Friday- I'm away so Mark will do a frozen Pizza

Saturday- Chicken Meatballs with rice and green beans

Sunday- Leftover

One of the big things I learned in my reasarch is using leftovers more often. Making a little bit extra and eating a little bit less at super time so you can get two meals out of it. Another good tip I learned was the less times you go to the grocery store the less you will waste money on impulse buying. My goal for now is once a week and eventually try and get it to twice a month.
