Eat From The Pantry Challenge: Week 3

This is my third week of participating the Eat From the Pantry Challenge. This challenge has been so much fun!

This past week I did great on meals (nothing too boring) and on sticking to buying just a few fresh groceries. I've got $48.92 left in my budget to buy fresh item for the next two weeks. Here's what I plan on picking up from the store this week:

2 apples $1.00
tomato $1.00
lettuce $1.29
corned beef $5.00
broccoli $1.29
milk $3.89
cheese $3.00
2 pasta sauces $3.00
Grand Total $19.47


Here's our menu for the week:

Breakfasts: Lots of Breakstone's Cottage Cheese Doubles;I got 15 of these for free at Meijer last week. They all need to be eaten by this time next month. Good thing I like cottage cheese! For variety, on a couple of days I'll have an egg and a piece of toast or some string cheese and fruit.

Lunches: Leftovers from supper -- what else is new? I've got a luncheon to attend today, not sure what's on the menu, but I'm sure it will be tasty.

Supper:

Monday: Spaghetti & Meatballs, Garden Salad, Garlic Toast

Tuesday: Chicken Fajitas topped with lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream

Wednesday: Fish, coleslaw, augratin potatoes

Thursday: Southwest Chicken Salad

Friday: Homemade Calzones
