(Under breakfast instead of two Southwestern Quiches one should be Eggs and Hashbrowns)

Just got done with my shopping spree for this week, although my shopping sprees have been lasting a lot longer then a week. Last weeks, weeks worth of shopping lasted 17days and this week i planned on more meals so it might last that long again. It lasted that long because some of the items i bought for certain meals where able to actually be stretched for more then one meal. Love it when that happens! Like the chicken i bought last shopping trip has still lasted and will be used for the Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas and the Cheddar & Cracker Chicken.

Total i spent about $66 for this weeks shopping which i know will feed us more then a week, like i said. I was excited to get it down to $66. I budget $100 a week but my goal is $50 a week. So with the stockpile money i spent i guess it was over $100 lol but oh well… i could have done fine with just $66 for the week so that is good.

Also I spent about $48 in stockpile goods between two stores. That was 10 boxes of cereal, 4 packages of sausage rolls and 2 packages of bacon, 10 packages of cinnamon rolls and 4 packages of crescent rolls. That is an average of $1.60 an item. Pretty good!

So far for prepared meals i have stockpiled are:
  • 2 (or more) Meals of Creamy Chicken Pasta
  • Oven Fried Chicken Tacos
  • Corn Dog Muffins
  • Banana Bread Muffins
  • Pancake & Sausage Muffins
  • Scrambled Egg Muffins
  • Cinnamon Rolls
  • Bagels
In addition to those meals i have frozen i also believe that i will have extra Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas, Southwestern Eggrolls & Quiche that i will be adding to my meal stock after this week.

That should be able to help me once my baby is born :)
