Thanks mama's for all the info on groceries...

I saved a bundle this week. I reduced our grocery bill by $50. I was in shock when the total was $110 for the whole week, which included a new pair of shoes for DS and a trip to the middle eastern store. I don't feel like I skimped all that much on the menu either. I just planned it out carefully. I think I could have got it down alittle more if I needed it to. I bought canned beans and tortillas and lenders bagels for DH which I can make if I needed to. I also always have extra fruit for snacking. Here is what I came up with: (Sorry for the Spelling errors)

FRI. Bagels and Cream Cheese
Graham Crackers and applesauce
PB&J
Carrots apples and Peanut Butter
Black beans rice and Salsa on Corn tortillas/ Salad

SAT. Eggs, Sausage and Toast
yoguart and honey
Turkey sandwich
Popcorn
Sweedish Meatballs

SUN. Pancakes and Eggs
Graham Crackers and apple sauce
Dinner Leftovers
Pretzels and Cheese
Chicken Fajitas

MON. Cereal
banana
Tomato Soup and Mozz. Cheese
Nachos
Roast/ Potatoes/ Lima Beans

TUES. Bagels Cream Cheese
yoguart and honey
Mac and Cheese
Carrots apples and peanut butter
Leftovers

WED. Eggs and Toast
Graham crackers and applesauce
Bean and Cheese
Banana Smoothie
Hummus, Tabolli and Pita (Homemade, except pita)

THURS. oatmeal
banana
PB&J
cinamon Toast
Mulekiah (Middle Eastern dish)
