Menu Changes

On Sunday we went grocery shopping for the first time. I thought I would be good and cut out coupons and try to get as much stuff as I could at a discount price. We started at Aldi’s and got a lot of the things we needed and only spent $40! I was so excited. Then we went to Beuhler’s and got our meat, produce and other stuff that Aldi’s didn’t carry. We ended up doing their 5 for $19.95 with meat and got steaks, a beef roast and some other things. We did really well about sticking to our list and only getting things that were in our menu for the week (other than the steaks they were a bonus!) I got up to the cash register and pay and get out will all the groceries for $80. I didn’t think $120 was bad for a weeks worth of groceries with a lot of it being things we won’t need to buy again for a while like flour, sugar, some spices and that kind of thing. As we were driving home though I realized all those coupons I spent time cutting out were still in my billfold and I didn’t use a single one of them! After looking over the groceries we would have only saved about $1.50 but still if we save that much every week that could add up! Oh well there is always next week!
Here is our menu for the week which is already off track!
Sunday- Sloppy Joes and Fries- We did have this and added corn on the cob!
Monday- Grilled Chicken with baked beans and pasta salad- I worked till 10 so Pat had a hot dog with left over sloppy joe sauce and I have a ham and cheese sandwich
Tuesday- Beef Roast with Vegetables- We decided this morning to have steaks tonight. Pat put them in the fridge to thaw out so we HAVE to have them. We are also going to have corn on the cob and possibly I will make the pasta salad!
Wednesday- BBQ Pork Sandwiches- We will probably have the Chicken since it is in the fridge and needs to be eaten by June 2nd!
Thursday- Beef and Noodles- We may keep this! I work 5-10 again so it is something I can throw in the crock pot and can both eat whenever!
Friday- Subs- I may make the BBQ Pork sandwiches because it will be the same as Thursday other than I am the 4:00 person so I may get off sooner than 10 but probably not as early as Pat will want to eat

Ok for some reason my italic isn't working so all my changes are showing like they are supposed to be! Sorry!
