We have been eating out a lot less and I've been getting back into cooking and making quick meals.
Last night I didn't actually cook anything. I just stuck some premade stuffed chicken in the oven and added a salad, but it was still a delicious meal!
I shop at Aldi, so most of the items I purchase are 30% cheaper than Kroger or Wal-Mart. Also, they do have fewer product options, but if you can get creative with your meals then this is the place to shop!
Cordon Blue Stuffed Chicken with a Side Salad |
Chicken $1 ea. Salad $2 total
A $4 meal!
And there's enough salad left do repeat tonight.
After dinner I sat down with my planner and wrote out a dinner plan. I'm still going off my "eating from the pantry" idea I posted about last week. So I made a grocery list of the basic items to add to my already existing food.
I came out only spending $63.98 for two weeks of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'll probably end up going back for more milk or bananas but that's it!

Tonights receipt! |
I ended up buying a little bit extra than intended since I left my list in the car!
But $130 a month in groceries will be a lot more managable than just $220 in eating out lunches alone!!!
Can't wait to see our debt decrease!!
