September 1 and 2

I have to make a disclaimer about these first 2 weeks. I already planned my menu and bought the groceries before I heard about this idea. And it's funny that since I can't/chosen not to go shopping, I keep thinking about what I'd like to buy and I don't need ANYTHING!! The feeling will go away after awhile, right?

Sept 1
Breakfast: Cold cereal
Lunch: Sandwiches and leftovers
Dinner: Turkey, Apple, Craisin Salad and saltine crackers.

Sept 2
Breakfast: Yogurt/egg, toast and fruit
Lunch: Tuna Sandwiches or leftovers
Dinner: Ravioli Vegetable Stack and cauliflower with cheese

And can I just say my little daughter is trying to be troublesome! She's on antibiotics for a double ear infection and she refuses to take them! She used to be so good at taking medicine. Unfortunately, she has to take them no matter what and so it will be given the "hard way". Very sad for her (and me).

$85 a Week for Groceries for September

I read about this on this blog. And if she can do it with 10 kids I can do it with 4! I'll post our meals and keep you updated on our progress. Even if we don't stick to the $85 a week, we'll still be saving money since I usually spend $600+ a month! YIKES! I'm going to go with all cash because I know that will help immensely. If anyone want to join us in this endeavor that would be great.
