This week I found a couple of deals that have affected my menus for the next few weeks. I found a frozen cod that bakes so well in an oven from a frozen state. With that I can roast vegetables such as potatoes for a fish and chips kind of meal. The box of fish was $12 but divide that by 6 meals for two its affordable and meets our goal of $25 a week. Also I bought so many vegetables last week that I didn’t have to buy anything but some cabbage and fruit. So when that happens I use the budget to buy fill ins. This includes buying more meat like frozen ground turkey for the chili, and because it was a great buy a nice piece of corned beef for a boiled (simmered) dinner. The left over corned beef will make a great hash for dinner or breakfast and some sandwiches for next week.
