21 day fix on a budget!

There are probably a lot of people who are thinking, no way! Junk food is cheaper!

Well we're going to create a meal plan that is on a budget using local deals, thats healthy and that you can also get a VARIETY. Too many times I see meal plans and its the SAME thing every single day. BOOOOORING. I need some variance in my life.
The closest store is Big Y. Then stop and shop. Sometimes I do peapod service because of having the kids. It's a great service! You can pick up to avoid the $7-10 delivery charge, or you can have it delivered! (Typically what I do) You can also give them manufacturer coupons when they drop off your order to deduct from your total.
For those interested, please click on my referral link where you will be able to help me feed my family but also get $20 off your order to feed your family! Win win!

Thanks!

Back to the topic on hand.
Big Y is B1G2 free this week, so that will get me the most for my money.
I already have some ground beef and yogurt, I don't eat steak and we're going to be having turkey for thanksgiving so I can take leftovers. With everything I'm getting this should equal $90, and last 10 days, if not more for the chicken. I will most likely go back on Wednesday to grab more of the b1g2 free deals before they expire. Like the chicken.
 My list is:
Perdue chicken breast 
steam fresh veggies
yams
San georgino pasta
cooked salad shrimp 
Apples
carrots
asparagus
kale
Wheat Bread
Steel Cut oats
Eggs
Deli Meat


Most of these I will be getting 9 of to take advantage of the buy 1 get 2 free deals. Then on top I will add in the few things extra my kids and husband like to eat, so food shopping should be around 100-125 without coupons.

Now time to search for some coupons and make the meal plan before shopping!
