Groceries on $50: Part 2...

Well, it's taken me all day to get here for one reason.  It's a good one, I promise.  I couldn't figure out what tonight's dinner was going to be, and I couldn't very well have a day without a menu, could I?

This week's grocery shop, with all my preemptive doubts, turned out to be only $.10 more expensive than last week, leaving me with a grand total of $48.36.

Even I'm surprised, since two of my ingredients sent me over to The Bulk Barn, and we all know what happens when we shop there...things tend to get a little out of hand :)

Tuesday- Egg Omelettes and Oven-roasted potatoes

Wednesday- Chinese Chicken and Rice

Thursday- Olive Oil pasta with Walnuts, Lentils, and Red Peppers

Friday-African peanut soup with Homemade Bread

Saturday-Leftovers

Sunday- Easter Dinner 

Monday- Homemade Whole wheat buns, for 2nd Easter dinner

Snacks- Banana Cranberry Chocolate Chip muffins

Freezer- Veggie lasagna

You might have noticed that the veggie lasagna recipe is the same one as last week's for our Sunday meal.  That's because I didn't make it! I still had all the ingredients, so I decided to tuck it away in the freezer for another time.

Grocery List:

• Tuna
• Canned water chestnuts
• Can diced tomatoes
• Mushrooms
• Red pepper
• Coconut milk
• Broccoli
• Green onion
• Sweet potatoes
• Apples
• Bananas
• Chicken breast
• Whole wheat tortillas
• Eggs
• Milk
• Walnut pieces (BB)
• Whole wheat pastry flour (BB)
• Mozzarella cheese
• Whole wheat spaghetti
• Greek yogurt
• Crunchy peanut butter

I've been noticing that, no matter what recipes I have planned for the week, the majority of the items will be on sale.  I only have God to thank for that!  Next week, however, I'm going to try to plan meals by looking in the flyers first, to see if I can save even more money!

Love,

Ashleigh
