Meal Planning

With school starting and football ruling our lives these days, I've been trying to plan meals and make one trip to the grocrey story every week. I've also changed grocery stores. I'm buying 90% of our groceries at Aldi. Aldi is a new chain of stores that offers only their brand of most products and only one size too. The prices are significantly cheaper! Each week I've spent less than $50 for breakfast and dinners for our family of 4. I still go to W@l-Mart for our paper goods and frozen meals for lunches.

Last week's meals:

Sunday - Sandwiches/leftovers
Monday - Breakfast (Landrie's request for 1st day of school dinner)
Tuesday - Cheeseburgers
Wednesday - Kara's BBQ Meatballs and Mashed Potatoes
Thursday - Tacos
Friday - Fast Food (Game Night)
Saturday - Out to Eat!

This weeks' meal plan:

Sunday - Chicken Enchilada Ring
Monday - Sloppy Joes and French Fries
Tuesday - Jambalaya
Wednesday - Dickey's BBQ ~ Kids Eat FREE!
Thursday - Sub Sandwiches
Friday - Fast Food (Game Night)
Saturday - Out to Eat!

I'm trying to find some other simple recipes to try over the next few weeks. I'm also looking forward to the cooler weather when I can break out the crock pot and soup recipes!
