2 Week menu plan with recipe links

(Knock Knock All Out Of Note Pad with Magnet- help with your grocery shopping! Affil. link.)

I am trying to keep our grocery budget to $75 per week this month so I am coming up with detailed menu plan using what I have in the freezer and pantry. I use moneysavingmom’s menu sheets to help with my menu plan.
We feed 6 people on strictly a gluten-free diet, I try hard to be sugar-free and limit our dairy. My husband’s diet fluctuates all the time as we try to find answers for some of his health issues. Stay tuned for more frugal living ideas!

I did my grocery haul and spent about $57. I have meat in the freezer and a full pantry. So while this week’s total brings my total monthly bill up to $160 ($10 over budget)– I know I have everything working in my favor. I do not recommend trying to cut your grocery bill as drastically as I have, while having a empty pantry and freezer. Starting the new year with trying to clean out the freezer, fridge, and pantry (should it be full), is a great way to get everything used up before it gets spoiled. It also helps recover holiday costs. :O
