Another week has started and that means another grocery shopping trip as well as figuring out what to make for dinner. Here's the dinner plan for the week:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Chicken Patties	Spaghetti	Bacon Ranch Chicken	Pizza	Date Night!!	Nothing Planned	Nothing Planned

Most of the dinner plans we pretty much had everything we needed to make so the lists were pretty short. Oh and I'm not planning for very many dinners as well. Michael's going to be spending a night or two with my in-laws so we are going to be taking advantage of this fact, hence the date night for Friday night. Here's what was on the list for Walmart and Wegmans this week:

Walmart		Wegmans
Item	Prices	Item	Prices
spaghetti sauce	$1.98	OJ	$4.69
pizza sauce	$0.98	pepperoni	$2.39 on sale for $1.99
pizza cheese	$2.47	pop tarts	$2.99
graham crackers	$2.98	roast	$10.32
distilled water	$0.88	swiss cheese	$4.50
trash bags	$6.98	ham	$4.61
		pizza dough	$2.49



Walmart Total =	$16.92	Wegmans Total =	$32.39

I knew that I had enough money to work with that I bought some items for me to have a delicious ham sandwich for lunches this week and make a roast maybe this weekend or have for when money is really tight. We had a carry over from last week of $30.49 which made this week's budget $80.49. I spent in total $49.31 which is under our normal budget and making a nice carry over of $31.18 for next week. I also earned $0.50 for the OJ and $0.50 for the cheese through Ibotta.
