I went shopping today for all the great meat deals available this week. We are now pretty much stocked up for many weeks and months now. Except for roasts, whole chickens and hams. Which will be easier to find sales on. I am now hoping not to have to go shopping at all until probably the middle of the first full week of May. Keeping my fingers crossed for that.
I will also be working to get more cleared out of the chest freezer. There are lots of ready meals and soups that need to be used up and planting season is coming up. This is true even though the forecast for later this week is calling for snow. Rain first of course.
Now onto this weeks menu.
Monday
Leftover Jambalaya from Saturday and a salad.
Tuesday
Pork chops, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and any leftover salad.
Wednesday
Sweet and sour meatballs, rice and a tossed salad.
Thursday
Soup and sandwiches. I will probably make egg salad sandwiches.
Friday
Fish burgers, the remains of the tossed salad, and probably pickles and cheese as I have pickles that need to be used up.
Saturday
Small sausage casserole and as there are loads of veggies in this just some bread or buns to go with.
Sunday
A Roast beef, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots and a coleslaw to use up the cabbage.
Some of these meals are leftovers in the fridge freezer, some are new and some are using up things from the pantry and chest freezer.
I am working on using things up even though I am stocking up at the same time.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Sounds like a delicious line up for the week. The sweet and sour meatballs sound delicious
ReplyDeleteMmm, meatballs, I haven't made those for a while. I've been frugal today. I made some bread case savouries with corn and bacon for my visitors morning tea, very tasty. Cut the crusts off the bread, baked it in the oven when I cooked the savouries, then whizzed them up to make breadcrumbs.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, Jackie. I need to make some soup here as I am all out of ant in the freezer.

Sounds wonderful. Glad you are stocked up now.
ReplyDeleteLove that you are working through your freezer stash, and eating well while doing so. Good work! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteNow our pantry is well stocked we probably won't have to go shopping quite so often - at least that's the hope anyway. Hopefully I've convinced the Resident Chef to put something on the list when he takes one out of the pantry so that way we will keep ahead of it.
ReplyDeleteI was able to keep this week's shopping to less than $100. That's a win for me, as both Eli and his mom have specific food preferences. I was able to fill the freezer and that meant mostly fresh food, veg, dairy, and fruit with a couple of replacements of pantry items.
