Back to the Budget

I'm slowly starting to feel better enough to eat, think about a meal plan, and go grocery shopping. Poor Chris survived most of August eating leftovers and lots and lots of pasta. He was a very good sport and even ran to the grocery for me when the random cravings hit (corn dogs, sweet potatoes, ice cream...).

Our goal for the month of September is to really, really track our spending down to the penny if possible. This was one of my 101 things to do goals, so we'll see how it goes!

Week 1 Meal Plan:
August 30 - Sept. 5
Sunday: Angel Hair Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes and Fresh Green Beans (from www.5dollardinners.com)
Monday: Double Corn Chowder with Bread & Butter
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Turkey Skillet Mac (recipe on the inside of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup)
Thursday: IU Football Game/Tailgate
Friday: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Peas
Saturday: Tortellini with Tomato Sauce, Salad, and Bread
