Weekly Meal Plan

Here we go again. I repeated a few meals from last plan since we still have a few of those ingredients around. The prices next to the meal plan are from the Budge Bytes recipes linked at the top. 

And we got away with a tab UNDER $100 for our family of 5 again! 

Breakfast will be 
blueberry frozen waffles or PB Toast or oatmeal with either a banana or orange.

Lunch will be 
PBJ sandwiches with fruit

Snacks include 
Crackers, pretzel sticks, cheese (block cut into slices), and I even scored some salted caramel chocolates to hide away from little people. Shh.
