Menu Plan Monday: Back to Basics

05/31/2009 By Charlene 4 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

This week I was hoping to only spend about $15 on groceries since I splurged on some drug store items (hurry up and send my rebates Rite Aid!) and I have to get 40 lbs of dog food. Since our budget is only $35 the dog food is always a budget buster. So thank heaven we still have a ton in the pantry and I only bought a little produce this week. I have a Wags gift card that I will use for milk. Here is what is on the menu this week:

MON: Out to dinner w/ parents

TUES: Burgers and grilled corn with rosemary butter

WED: Garlic Cheddar Chicken with frozen veggies

THURS: Green Salad with Cheesy Grilled Zucchini

FRI: Dinner with Family

SAT: Skillet Apple Chicken with green salad

SUN: Homemade BBQ Chicken pizza

Amazingly most of this is from the $12 trip to Safeway today. The only pantry items are flour etc.. for the pizza dough and the last of our burgers/buns. For more great ideas visit Menu Planning Monday at OrgJunkie!

    I found your blog through org. junkie. The garlic chicken looked so yummy, I changed my dinner plans for the night and made it instead. It was so delicious! Thank you for sharing your menu plan!
