We’ve reached the end of our 8 week $29 grocery budget challenge. This week is a little different for us as I will be out of town for part of the week with no stove. That’s why you will see I am using every bit of ‘extra’ money for on the road.
Welcome to week 7 of our $29 grocery budget challenge. This week we are shopping at Walmart.
Welcome to week 5 in our $29 challenge. Who’s still with me? Are you learning anything new?
I love honey, oh let me count the ways. I shared several facts about my love of honey on Facebook the other day. (Link at bottom of post.) I love honey, and I love those pesky little dandelions out in the yard because they help provide food for the bees that give us honey. *Post…
I love a good breakfast but during the week it isn’t something I want to spend a lot of time making. Creamy Mushroom Scrambled Eggs are a perfect quick and easy breakfast recipe.
We made it! Frugal meal planning meal plan 12 is finally here. We made it through 3 months of frugal meal planning and still managed to eat quite well. I was hoping to have more new recipes to share but life kind of got in the way and we fell back on some older favorites…
Welcome to week 11 of our frugal meal planning series. This week’s breakfast and lunch plans are being sponsored by Whole Foods Devon. We were able to get a very healthy 1 week meal plan for under $200, while shopping at Whole Foods and I will be sharing that soon. My family also learned that…
And we are already going into week two of January. For real? Time flies when you are having fun or keeping busy. Do you ever get tired of meal planning? I admit I do. It sure does help keep me on budget and a little more organized, though. My husband will tell you that I…
This coming week we are going really low budget for frugal meal plan 8. We are tackling THE FREEZER and THE CABINETS and THE REFRIGERATOR. I just did a major inventory and clean up of the deep freeze and now that I know what is in there and how old some things had gotten way…
Over the last few years we have been replacing store bought processed snacks with homemade snacks and more fresh fruits and vegetables. We still buy some things like tortilla chips and pretzels but slowly I am cutting back our dependence on them and trying to make fresh homemade snacks. That means I have a whole…

We are officially half way through our 12 weeks frugal meal planning series. Are you ready for Christmas? I look forward to Christmas Dinner but not quite as much as Thanksgiving. Are there any fabulous food traditions your family has for the holidays? Every year we celebrate with my family me dad makes “roast beast”….
We are approaching week five in our frugal meal planning series. I have to say that having meal plan every week has been crucial to me this season of busyness with work, compiled with being a little short financially. Our refrigerator and cabinets are starting to lose that bloat of odd and ends stuffing them. You…
The last few weeks have gone so fast. How are you doing on your budget? Has frugal meal planning helped your budget out? I know it has been helpful for me, especially as this coming week I find I miscalculated and have almost nothing in grocery money. Yup, I spent too much on Black Friday/Christmas…
Are you ready for meal plan 2 in our 12 week series on frugal meal planning? I think we are going to have a few dishes that incorporate beans too and maybe some chicken sausage to break things up. I don’t think beef for 6 days out of the week would be idea. Oh, oh, oh, and…
