Meal Plan: 7/13-7/19

As I compiled my grocery shopping list for tomorrow, I also put together a menu for the week outlining lunches and dinners for July 13 through July 19, the first week of the challenge. I plan to do the grocery shopping at Aldi tomorrow, and if my calculations are correct, I should spend no more than $30. That leaves $20 for stockpiling at Meijer or Kroger when The Grocery Game lists come out on Tuesday.

For breakfast, my husband and I usually do our own thing. Most of the time we eat cereal, fruit, or toast. I have a lot of cereal stockpiled so I don't have to buy any, and fruit and bread are pretty much staples. I am working the evening shift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which is why the lunches and dinners might seem reversed.

Here is our lunch & dinner meal plan for the week:

Monday, July 13

Lunch - White Bean & Ham Soup with Corn Muffins
Dinner - Tuna Sandwiches & Vegetable Chips
