Because I haven’t been feeling well this weekend, my wonderful husband offered to take care of the grocery shopping and let me rest. We planned our meals together, and put together a list, but he did the actually shopping by himself while I slept. Isn’t he so sweet? :)
He did a fantastic job of keeping costs down, too. The total was $42, including $5 off from our grocery store’s rewards program. Not too bad considering the amount of food he brought home.
The highlight of this week’s meal plan is no doubt last night’s broccoli cheddar soup. I was craving Panera, so we searched for a recipe to recreate it. I’d say it was a success. We’ll definitely be adding it to our regular menus. It was pretty easy, too. I recommend you give it a try!
Here’s our menu for the week:
Saturday: Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Sunday: Spaghetti with meat sauce
Monday: Leftovers/sandwiches
Tuesday: Grilled chicken sandwiches (Held over from last week after a change in plans.)
Wednesday: Potato soup
Thursday: Dinner with friends (Half priced appetizers at our favorite pub.)
Friday: Homemade pizza
Now head over to OrgJunkie for more menu plans!
Wow, that is great that your man is taking care of you! He did a great job grocery shopping, too. (mine likes to rack up the bill with all the aisle items)
Hope you feel better quick!
Oh wow – you’re too organised! Wish I could be that good. And I have to agree with moneyfunk mr dirty boots tends to get a bit carried away with specials I ignore when left to his own devices at the store.
Nice, i am working on a new system right now to get more organized. Have you tried FoodSupoort before? They partner with local grocery chains and offer free food cards. You can learn more about them at http://www.FoodSupport.org
I tried the broccoli cheddar soup for lunch today and it was a hit. Thanks so much for sharing.
I think I’m going to try your soup this week. Sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing!
