Monday Menu

We made it through Lent without eating out.  The only exception was when I was sick in bed and Dennis took the boys out to eat for a couple of days.  I did a little research in Quicken to find out that we saved $504 from eating in every night instead of eating out for the season of Lent!  I was totally excited about that fact.  So, we will continue to eat in and watch our bank account grow.  What I thought was interesting is that I did not spend any more in groceries during this time.    Thank goodness for coupons and smart shopping! 

Monday - Tater Taco casserole, cabbage (edited 3/25/11)  the casserole has corn in it and I did not have a cabbage head to cook!

Tuesday - BBQ  Chicken, green beans

 Wednesday - chicken broccoli alfredo linguine

Thursday - tacos/nachos, corn

Friday - egg salad sandwiches, red beans and rice

Saturday - homemade pepperoni pizza

Sunday -grilled hamburgers, beans

Grocery shopping

I went to Ingles tonight to buy groceries. They are having triple coupons this week. I had a really good shopping trip. My bill was $206.43, coupons were $128.20, and paid $78.23!! What a great deal - that's a 62% savings. Then, I went to CVS.

They have Excedrin on sale this week for $1.99 and Excedrin has a printable coupon for $2.00 on their website. That makes it FREE!! That's always the best deal. You just pay the tax.
