Getting Organized with Dinner
So yesterday I started the week with our Market Basket menu and shopped our list for 5 easy dinners. I used the menu as it was delivered, although it is easy enough to swap out meals and side dishes or exclude a meal altogether. What was on the menu? Take a look below:
And, as shown below, there were 17 in store specials used in our menu, allowing us to really drive down my food costs all while providing easy and healthy dinners. I love that I can go to the store and do not have to think or plan or even worry about the budget. I walk right past those flyer stands with not even a second glance…its already incorporated into the plan. I feel so organized and yet I did none of the work! As you can see below, all of the main meals are based on a key store special, and many of the side dishes are based on the fresh produce sales.

So how much did all this goodness and organizational bliss cost me at the register? $72.90 for 5 dinners, including one or two sides per meal, for a family of 5.
