Menu Monday

Hello and happy Monday!  I didn't post my menu last week because I got busy but you'll just have to take my word that I had a menu and I stuck to it.  :)

This week as I was planning I noticed that a lot of my pantry items that I like to stock up on are on sale, so I spent a little over my grocery budget for the week.  I don't ever feel guilty about that as long as it is a really good deal and I know that it will pay off in the end to buy it now.

For example...
Albertson's had GM cereal on sale AND I have coupons...makes it less than $1.50 for a box of Chex.
Safeway had 93% lean ground beef on sale for $1.99.  I am a total lean beef snob so I stocked up, divided it into 1lb portions and put it in my freezer.

Those are just two things.  I also bought coffee for an ultra low price because I can't live without my cup of joe in the morning.  Yep.  I'm a hopeless coffee addict.

And now on to this week's menu:
Monday: Kari's Mexican Casserole
Tuesday: Sweet 'n Sour Chicken
Wednesday: Turkey BLT Quesadillas
Thursday: BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Breakfast
Sunday: Pizza!

Well, have a great week all!  Hopefully wherever you are, the groundhog won't see his shadow and Spring will come early this year. :)
