Meal Planning: 4/11 thru 4/17
Welcome!
Should you be a new reader of "I'm Not Your Mama's Martha!", please click Meal Planning With Amanda and read through how to begin meal planning for yourself and to understand how, exactly I feed my family of three breakfast, lunch and dinner for, on average, $150 per week. There, you will find links to printable lists for yourself as well as my Master Meal List of all the meals I make that we seem to eat on a regular basis and that I draw from when making my weekly meal plans.

Huge savings at Safeway this week and I stocked up on split chicken breasts as well as 93% lean ground beef because it was at rock-bottom pricing and our freezer is getting empty (check out my Inventory below). I also totally went overboard on alcohol because it was 60% off, nearly $70 of what I spent was on wine/champagne/spirits. :)

1 Contreau
Organic crackers
Sugar

(2) Cornbread (normally $0.79, on sale $.49)

(2) Flour (normally $4.49, on sale 2@$3)
1lb ground pork
4.25 lbs 93% lean ground beef (normally $5.99/lb, on sale $2.97/lb)
11lbs split bone-in chicken breasts (normally $2.99/lb, on sale $0.99/lb)

Carrots
Sugar snap peas
Inventory (after last week's meals):
1 pork tenderloin
1 8oz portions Tilapia
6 3/4lb portions lean ground beef (4 portions added from this week's shopping trip)
2 1.25lb portions ground turkey
2 1lb portions chicken breast
4 2-3 split breasts (added from this week's shopping trip)
1 1.25lb portions stew meat
1 1lb Orange chicken (pre-cooked)
As I create my meal plan each week, I'll reduce my inventory the next week by those selections and will not shop for meats between now and the time I plow through my inventory, so that 1) nothing spoils from freezer-burn, 2) I don't waste money as the meats above were purchased at the lowest possible price and 3) because I have no additional space to store anything! :)
