Bi-Weekly Meal Plan

Here is my Meal Plan for the next two weeks! I shopped at Aldi ($70) Walmart ($14) Discount Grocery Store ($50). About $134 for two weeks and this includes non-food items such as shampoo, toilet paper, plastic wrap, etc and I even got a picture frame for a baby present at Aldi!

I did have some ground beef and pork chops left from last week, and I found chicken breasts at the discount store, so I didn't have to spend much in the way of meat. I bought some breakfast sausage and a whole chicken.

Meal Plan for 1/30-2/13

1. Tacos

I found this Taco Bell kit at the discount store for $1.19. It includes 10 flour tortillas, seasoning packet and those little orange mild sauce packets you get at the restaurant. In my opinion, those packets make the taco, so I was so excited to find this. And all this for the price of just the tortillas made me really happy. :)

2. Slow Cooker Roasted Whole Chicken

3. Parmesan Chicken

4. Cheesy Noodles

5. Loaded Chicken and Potato Casserole

6. Sweet & Spicy Chicken and Bacon Bites

7. Chicken and Bacon Ranch Sandwiches

8. Ham and Cheese Omelets

9. Salisbury Steaks

10. Pork Chops

11. Chicken Quesadillas

12. Chicken Picatta

13. Pizza Night

14. Leftovers

Soup: Cheeseburger Soup

Pork Soup

Desserts: Cheater's Coconut Cream Pie

Lunches: (This is just a few ideas where I'm trying to go more low-carb.)

Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Chicken and Veggie Bowls

Cauliflower Poppers

Other: Breakfast Burritos

I hope to add more recipes for these meals in the coming two weeks. So check back soon!

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id

My Frugal Cottage/Farmhouse Decor and how YOU can get it.

I have been on a decorating spree lately. I just finished my cabinets ( see them in this post here !) and so I've been changing things up a little bit. Plus spring is almost here and so I've been getting my flowers out for it! I also love to see how inexpensively I can decorate while still looking nice. I love the stuff from Pottery Barn, Magnolia Market, etc. but here on THIS blog, I'm on a budget! My favorite stores are thrift stores, specifically the Goodwill or Goodwill Outlet and stores like Ross, Homegoods and Michaels. And of course, the Dollar Tree! I try to make a lot of my stuff, or redo it so it's more my style. I've tried to include links to some of the stuff I've bought. None of these links are affiliate links, they are just there to help you out! I've already shared my "mantle" already but I had to include it in this post. I made the star, my husband made the plaque, I covered the books and decorated the vase. Everythin

Thrifty Thursday-Marked Down Bread

Today I am sharing a tip that I use to stretch my meals out a little. I buy marked down Italian bread loaves in the store bakeries. I bought this loaf for $.72. It was only $1.00 to begin with but $0.28 is $0.28! Plus that's not the only savings you get with this. I love those boxes of frozen garlic toast that are about $3.00 for 6 slices!!! That's crazy. But sometimes, I just really want some bread with my meal. So I slice up the loaf and portion it out in 4 pieces per bag. I then put all the individual bags in one big freezer bag and freeze. When it's time to eat, just pull out a bag. They thaw quickly. I spread softened butter on each side and sprinkle with garlic salt. I sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and sometimes I add Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for about 7 minutes or until they reach the desired crispness. With those other boxes coming in at about $0.50/slice, these are so much cheaper!!
