Since Tony & I are still in an effort to cut back our out-going expenses I am trying to get even better about using up all our leftovers. I can't count the number of times I have had to throw stuff out in the past because it rotted in the back of the fridge without me knowing it was there.
But who really wants to eat the same thing 4 nights in a row??? To that end I have begun "re-purposing" meals. Thursday's baked ham dinner is Sunday's Macaroni & Cheese casserole (ham & peas mixed in). Friday's baked yams are Monday's Savory Potato Bake. This way I feel like I am getting more bang for my buck & we are cutting down on our waste.
My brag this week? We stocked up for the month this last Friday. (We will still need to get fresh veggies & dairy as needed, of course.) With shopping only sales & using coupons I got about $200 in groceries for just under $130!! Not bad. I even have basic menus planned out for the next 4 weeks.
Bring on the savings, baby! Mama is hunting for a bargain!
