Menu Planning #253
NOTE-
1- Click on the picture and get a link to a post sharing the recipe.
2- Although all prices were correct at the time of the blog postings, the current cost of preparation of these dishes may be higher due to inflation and/or location.
According to this plan, our family would have a budget of $191.80 per week. Given our health concerns, we struggle to maintain this budget, but I am going to try to make this happen.
Cost-Saving Tip of the Week: I check the discounted racks weekly for pantry or freezer bargains. This week I was able to find Angus Ground Beef (95/5) for under $5.00 a pound. Considering that we are focused on our health and eating higher quality products, this was a real bargain. I didn’t need it this week, so I popped it in the freezer as soon as I got home. In addition, baby back ribs were only $1.99 a pound which is roughly half the normal price. This is one of my son’s favorite things to eat, so I looked for 2 packages that had a lot of meat on them and picked them up. We enjoyed a rack of ribs this past Sunday and placed the other one in the freezer.
Here is what we did this week to make our week easier:
