My first Menu Plan Monday! Yay

I don’t know how faithfully we’ll stick to this menu, but here’s some meal ideas I’m considering for the week. All are based on things in my pantry/fridge.

Breakfast:
Toast
Oatmeal
Waffles
(Boring, I know, but this week my $35 budget didn’t have room for cereal)

Lunch:
Leftovers and assorted finds

Dinner:

  • Linguine with alfredo sauce, steamed frozen veggies
  • Tuna melt sandwiches, twice-baked potato, fruit salad
  • French toast, potato wedges, baked apples
  • Spaghetti and marinara sauce, garlic toast
  • Grilled cheese sandwiches and can of Progresso soup

I already made the fruit salad, and I wanted to post a record of what it cost. Also, the twice-baked potato and potato wedges are waiting in my freezer.

Fruit salad:

  • Can pineapple .69
  • Can mandarin oranges .45
  • Frozen strawberries 1.69
  • A banana .10
  • Total: $2.93
