New Month, New Me... at least that's the goal!
I am trying very hard this month to create a lifestyle plan that will work best for me...basically, I need to do a better job of eating at home and saving money!
I wanted to share one way I plan on doing both!
Last Saturday, I went to the grocery store with a game plan. I planned out all my meals for the week and was determined to only spend $40 && That's exactly what I did! Below is a picture of everything I bought.
Shopping list:
- 2 Green Bell Peppers
- 4 Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 Red Potatoes
- 1 Roma Tomato
- 1 Apple
- Sm. Broccoli Crown
- Fresh Green Beans
- Chicken Fajita Strips
- Polish Sausage
- 2 Carrot Cake & 2 Coconut Cream Pie Larabars
- Grapes
- Mushrooms
- Panko Bread Crumbs
- Vegetable Oil Cooking Spray
- Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese
- Minced Garlic
- 1 Vanilla & 1 Coconut Chobani Greek Yogurt
- Squash & Zucchini
- 2 Carrots
- Baby Spinach Bunch
- Head of Cauliflower
So far, I have made Orange Chicken Nuggets & Egg Muffins! The egg muffins have been comin' in clutch this week for breakfast everyday.. I highly recommend making them!
I will confess, no one is perfect. I did purchase lunch twice this week - one is justified in that Friday was my friend's last day of work and we went out to lunch...and went to happy hour on Thursday...
But other than that, I have done extremely well not spending money this week and still have food left over from the haul to start this next week!! (mainly because we had pizza in the office three days this week..shhh. don't tell my trainer)
What are some of your favorite easy, mainly meat free recipes?
