Menu Plan 8/24 – 8/30
August 24, 2008 at 7:20 pm · Filed under food, menus
This week my grocery budget was $20. It was difficult, but I managed to find some decent meals and still have 60 cents left.
Breakfast:
- Lemon Creme Cake (not good, I know, but it was cheaper than milk + cereal or anything else I could find)
Lunches/Dinners:
- Tuna 2 Go (x2)
- Italian Grilled Cheese (olive oil sub. for butter, bread, oregano, fresh pepper, cheddar cheese)
- 1 SmartOnes Lasagna
- Spinach and Chicken Pasta (chicken tenderloin, spinach leaves, pesto, whole wheat rotini pasta, feta)
Drinks:
- 1 No-Name 2 Liter
- Pomegranate-Lemonade
- Water + Green Tea w/ Raspberry supplement
It’s not great, I know, but it’s the best I could do with such a small budget.
Working out is going to be tough this week, too; I have a million things going on every day, tons of reading, and last week wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. I felt achy, tired, and sore all over, and I wasn’t even pushing that hard! But, through my pep-talk with my “coach”/loving boyfriend, I was able to push through and make my goals for last week. I hope I can establish a better routine this week and start having some consistency.
