We have plenty of food in the house, and so I was excited to challenge myself to plan a menu literally without buying anything. I stopped at Giant yesterday for just milk, fruit, and yogurt (three necessities for us), but other than that, we'll be eating from the pantry and fridge this week. Here's our menu:
Mon - Pepperoni pasta, salad 
Tues - Meatloaf, noodles, canned green beans
Wed - Chinese Orange Beef (This has been on my menu for weeks, but I keep not ever making it! Maybe this week?!)
Thurs - Leftover meatloaf
Fri - Grilled tilapia, oven fries, spinach
Sat - Tacos, fruit salad
Sun - Something with grilled flank steak (Father's Day!)
A week from Saturday, June 27, our family is leaving for the beach for a week! Hooray! Afterwards, the girls and I will be staying with my parents for two weeks, while Michael heads back home to work. So next week I plan to make a big Wegmans run on Monday to get some food for the trip as well as food to leave Michael for while I'm gone.
Currently my grocery spending for June is at $259.83. It's somewhat higher than normal, since we did some extra spending on a BBQ we hosted. However, since I'm skipping shopping this week, I hope that I can still make my Wegmans trip next week and any other deals I pick up stay within the June budget, leaving the July grocery budget available for some treats at the beach.
Hope your week got off to a great start!
