Our next week meals:
Sat.- BBQ New York Steaks with baked potatoes and canned corn
Sun.- Whole Chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed pasta
Mon. - Mans Casserole
Tues.- Mac and Cheese with Chicken Tenders and Tater Tots
Wed.- Spaghetti with meat sauce and Garlic Cheese Bread
Thurs.- Hot Dogs
Fri.- Manicotti and Cheese Bread
Sat.- BBQ (something from the freezer)
Sun.- Pizza (diner out)
I have always tried to plan our weeks meals until the next shopping trip, but I found that if I don't write it down I get lazy and fall short. I'm hoping that since I've taken the time to write our meals out I will stick to them.
What are you eating this week?

1 1/2 gal. of milk (1.39) after coupon
1- 2 lb pack of pre grated Mozzarella cheese (3.49/lb)
1- tub of ricotta cheese (2. 50)
1- tub of sour cream (1.39)
2- jars of Barilla Pasta Sauce (2.00 each)
2- cans of Chambells Chicken Noodle Soup (1.50 each)
3- boxes of General Mills cereal (83 cents each) after sale and instore coupon
1- box Nature Valley gernola bars (3.00)
2- Family size boxes of Frosted Flakes (3.00 each)
1- bottle of fabric softener (2.99)
1- box of ziplock sandwich bags (1.59)
1- Hormel Dinners 1- Beef Roast 1- Turkey and Gravy (3.27 each) after sale and coupon
1- can cream of chicken soup (1.00) on sale
Total before savings $83.05 (before tax)
Total after savings $40.22
Total savings of $46.22 or 56%
I saved $9.70 just in coupons, thats more than double what I usually do. The General Mills deal on cereal was a major hot save! The Hormel Dinners were buy one get one free and I had a coupon, which I had been saving. I didn't buy much to stock our cupboards because I planned out meals for next week and we just about had everything we will need. I'm hoping I can make it 2 weeks without going back to the store, but I may need to run in for some milk.

38% Savings
Our camera broke so I am not able to take a picture of the end shopping results, so a list will have to suffice.
10 Yoplet Yogurts for (.35 each) on sale and 2 coupons used
2 pack English muffins (1.15 each pack) on sale
1 gal. of milk (2.49) after $1 off coupon
2 Frozen pizzas (3.99 each) on sale
1 can of peanuts (2.50)
3- 12 packs of sprite (3.00 each) on sale
1 Suave Lotion (1.79) after $1 off coupon
1 Tyson chicken tenders (3.99) on sale
2 pt of Dryers Ice Cream (3.00 each) on sale
1 large box of Beef Taquitos (3.79) on sale
2 jars of Barilla Pasta Sauce (1.25 each) on sale
2 boxes of mashed potatoes (1.50) after $1 off coupon and on sale.
... and more
Because I spent over $50 I got a gift card for $10 off my next purchase.
I went way over my $40 budget, since it was Stater Brothers re-Grand Opening they had so many good deals I couldn't pass up.
Total before savings $113.67
Total after savings $71.02 (before taxes)
Total savings of $42.65 or 38%
I was able to stock our cupboards fairly well with this purchase so I'm guessing I wont have to go back to the store for at least 2 weeks.
