Today we took our kids out to breakfast. We had a coupon AND a gift card, so we were good to go. We were so careful with our selections that we will be able to go out again with what’s left on the gift card on a night when they have “kids eat free.”
While we were there, we sat and planned out our meals for the next two weeks, since it’s a pay week, making our grocery list, and then headed for the store. At Price Rite we spent exactly $200 on the two weeks’ of groceries and we got 85 items; ingredients to make two lasagnas, a roasted chicken, BBQ ribs and more, more, more.
But, despite all that we did and all that we got, the best thing of all was free….the cardboard box from Price Rite. It wasn’t even from today’s trip, it was from a different trip, but they spent the whole morning playing with it.
Here’s a sneak peek at this week’s menu:
SUNDAY: BBQ ribs and chicken with homemade corn bread
MONDAY: Poached salmon over rice with steamed broccoli hollandaise
TUESDAY: Sausage and Peppers
WEDNESDAY: Cranberry Chicken
THURSDAY: Spaghetti with Tuna sauce
FRIDAY: Daddy Does Dinner…surprise!
SATURDAY: Make two, freeze one Lasagna
The Whole bag of Chips 
We have this great big empty appliance box sitting in what used to be our dining room (now our kids play area) and it’s been converted into a house. My husband cut out a door and put in windows. It’s the favorite with the kids. Thanks for sharing

I could go for some BBQ ribs! I’ll have to add them to my own menu soon.
