Menu Plan: Week 2

 Last week went very well! We did end up grabbing dinner instead of doing leftovers one night, but since I take leftovers every day for lunch at school, we really don't have that much in the way of leftovers. I didn't feel too bad about that!

This Week:
Honeymoon Pizza - make the dough this weekend
Chicken Enchiladas
Stuffed Shells & Crunchy Romaine Salad
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches & Ravioli
Leftovers

Grocery List:
  • PIZZA:
    • Bacon - on sale @ Hyvee this week for $1.99/lb
    • Shrimp - a friend at work gave me two cans she said she wasn't going to use.  I've never used canned shrimp, but for free, it's worth a try!
    • Cilantro - >$1
    • Sweet chili sauce - I'm almost out so I'll buy another bottle - approx. $4
  • SHELLS/SALAD:
    • Jumbo shells - I will have to buy these at Hyvee since Aldi doesn't carry them :( - $2.50
    • Cream cheese - it has been on sale for $.99 the last few weeks at Aldi
    • 1 lb sausage - $2.29 @ Aldi (regular price)
    • Head of romaine - >$2
    • 1 pkg ramen- $.20
  • SANDWICHES/RAVIOLI
    • Sliced American Cheese - I buy the Kraft kind when I'm doing grilled cheese, so it will probably be pricy... - $3 
    • Bread - $1.29 @ Aldi (regular price)
    • Ravioli -*confession* I know it's gross, but we eat canned ravioli. We both grew up eating it at home and at school.  However, I have decided to give making my own ravioli a try - not from scratch (though that sounds like a fun project for the summer!), but just boiling frozen ravioli and adding sauce. -$4 ?
I think I have everything else! Approx. total before tax = $23.26  Of course I need milk, eggs, yogurt, cereal, fruit, and some other staples, but with our $50/wk grocery budget, I think this should work just fine.
