Don't you just love the new banner? I love December and all the winter-y decorations. I absolutely cannot believe that it is already December! The year is going to be over before we know it. Amazing.Last week really didn't have a lot of menus due to Thanksgiving and all. We still did pretty well on "the plan". My husband, who is famous for concocting meals, threw dinner together one night instead of me making the Bierocks. So, they are on repeat...again! :)
Our meal total last week for a whopping 4 meals at home was $5.70. This total does not include Thanksgiving. With this included in my total is $15.60 for 5 meals (this is probably a more accurate look at things). There were a total of 33 servings (this includes leftover night as well as Thanksgiving {I only counted 5 servings for Thanksgiving although the appetizers/pie fed more than our 5}) so an average of .46/serving w/Thanksgiving or .20/serving without Thanksgiving.
Moving on to this week:
Breakfast
- Baked Oatmeal
- French Toast
- WW Biscuits and Gravy
- Bagels/Cr Cheese
Dinners
- SUNDAY: Tuna Patties ($1.45), Peas (.50), Depression Cake (.35) ($2.30, 5 servings {except for the cake}=.46/serving)
- MONDAY: Bierocks.($2) Dessert. (.50) (8 servings=.31/ea)
- TUESDAY: Chickaritos (
I would guess about $5, but it makes enough for about 2 mealsI was WAY wrong here! We're looking at $7.70 for these babies! I could have used less chicken..but we liked it this way..so well...I'm not changing it. This made about 6 1/2 servings. Ooops.), Spanish Rice (.50) $1.26 serving (OUCH!) - WEDNESDAY: Dinner at church
- THURSDAY: Beef Stroganoff ($2.70), HM Bread (.40), GB (free)($3.10, 5 servings= .62/serving)
- FRIDAY: Salsa Chicken Black Bean Soup, leftover HM bread (
When I was making my menu plan for the coming 2 weeks, I wrote this in. I thought that I bookmarked where it came from...but apparently I did not! I cannot find it anywhere! So..hopefully I can find it before Friday, or we're moving to Plan BThanks Niki...I found it!) - SATURDAY: Leftovers
As I go along, if the prices change, I will come back and update in blue.

I think I saw that chicken recipe on crockpot 365's site, right?
:)
Nice Breakdown! I've been thinking about doing a depression cake. How did yours turn out?
Niki-
I thought that was where it was from, but apparently I bookmarked her homepage instead of the recipe! I've updated it with the link, thanks for the reminder! :)
Jenny-
It turned out pretty good actually...escpecially for how frugal it is. I was out of vanilla, so I didn't use it, but I do think that it would make it a lot better. I think the next time I might throw a handful of chocolate chips in it. You can never have too much chocolate, right?!
Great job. You're the queen of budgets.
Rona-
Thank you! I wouldn't say queen, I still have a LONG way to go, but I sure do try! You are such a sweetheart! :)
I'm amazed how you can break all that down to the penny! You really are an inspiration to all of us!!! I must know what depression cake is!?!?!?!?
Hayley-
Thank you for your kind words! :)
I forgot to include the depression cake link in the original post..I've added it in now.
Excellent menu. I like the way you break it all down.
