Menu Plan.

Menu Plan for 9/2- 9/8
 
Now that we've finally moved and got settled in, I can get back into the frugal groove with meal planning and cooking. We ate out a lot and it ended up costing a LOT! But now I'm back in my groove and back on budget!

We may not eat the meals on the same night I assigned it but we will eat it that week most likely.

Monday - Hot dogs, beans, maybe brownies?. It's Labor day!

Tuesday - Taco Salad

Wednesday - I'm not sure yet, we have church that night

Thursday - Breakfast for dinner! Pancakes, bacon, eggs.

Friday - Pasta, green beans

Saturday - Pizza

Sunday - Dinner with family most likely

Frugal Accomplishments.

This week I was able to redeem swagbucks for a 5$ Amazon gift card.
 
 I made homemade laundry detergent. This was my first time, so we'll see how it works!

I redeemed two free item coupons from Kroger.

Since we're still in the process of moving and renovating our new home, I've had to spend more money than I wanted to but we've been able to do it pretty cheap. It's a good thing I married a carpenter :)

Still using diapers from my shower, it'll be a long time before I have to buy diapers.

I exchanged some things at Walmart for things I needed, making them free.

I think that's all for this week, maybe next week will be better!!

Last Week's Frugal Accomplishments

My sweet girl!!



I used 4 free e-coupons from Kroger. I was able to get a bottle of Clear shampoo, Colgate toothpaste, a box of Hamburger Helper, and a bag of popcorn for 7 cents. Every Friday they put a free item coupon in their website and I make sure I get on and load it to my card!

I used coupons to get shampoo and conditioner very cheap.

We were gifted corn from an uncles garden. It was delicious.

We are renovating a new home but we've been able to get a lot of things we need gifted to us, including three rooms of carpet and a new bathroom vanity. These have been such a blessing!

I haven't drove very much so we've saved on gas.

I returned an item to Target and got some things for my daughters new room.

We received a reimbursement check from a trip my husband took.

What did you accomplish this week?
