Budget Challenge update!

I postponed my Friday trip to Monday and bought for 2 weeks instead of 1 because the ads weren't great for this week and I wanted to stock up on some of the stuff on sale!


We bought:

5 lbs of Ranchers Reserve steak (and had them cut it into strip and steak sizes.)

3-4 crowns of broccoli

1 canteloupe

2 bags of romaine

3 hot house tomatoes

1 bunch of bananas

3 lbs of grapes

6 apples

4-5 oranges

5 lbs of potatoes

20 cans of vegetables

2 12 count cartons of eggs

1 gallon of milk

2 bags cheddar Jack cheese

1 bag italian mix cheese

2 ears of corn


And the total was $49 so we stayed under the budget and were able to stock up on some meat and cans and get lots of fresh produce :) YUM.


SO far this week we've had

Steak with a parmesean garlic sauce, Mashed potatoes and green beans.

BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, and salad

Italian style steak over pasta and marinara sauce with salad


And tonight we're looking at beef and broccoli with brown rice :)
