Week ONE...Once a month cooking report!!!

We did it! Here's our ONE week menu! And saving below!!!

I almost caved on Wednesday night...LIKE really almost caved in

 and went to drive through! It was also hard on the last day of 

school not to go out to eat to celebrate. I didn't realize how much I 

was using food to celebrate! 

It is FOR sure taking some adjusting.

I"m happy to report I saved $532.00 this week by planning 

our meals, fixing them ahead of time and not eating out. We 

didn't have any cereals. I am not opposed to cereal but one

 box feeds 1/2 our family so if I am doing this to save money

 and get on track then we are not doing cereal for a time.

We bought buy milk, coconut milk, fresh veggies, someone 

gave us a bunch of bananas they didn't want and caroline 

and I drank protein/greens shakes every morning for 

breakfast instead of what the others ate just because that's

 what we always do.

Steve still ate out for lunch at work and Leah bought herself a

 box of cereal. Leah also went out with friends for one meal.

LAST....I am not a nutritionist at all but even the gravy and 

biscuits have to be better than french fries every day and I 

LOST 2 lbs!!!

SO....here we go to week TWO!!!

Come follow us on our journey and join us by cooking once a 

month too and reporting here to let us know what you 

saved!!! I am actually enjoying this after I got it all cooked

 and organized.
