January's Meals

Now that December is (almost) over I can admit that December was rough! When it got down to it we figured we had $0 for December's budget! Yep, no money for food. Guess what? We did not starve or ever go hungry at all. Our stockpile/ food storage was so big it didn't even faze us! We did probably spend $20 ish on diapers and milk.

We finally have money again so I did January's grocery shopping a few days early! I'm sure we'll have probably 1 more trip to the store, but our first one we spent $102.

We got:
Apples
Apple sauce
Bananas
Bread- 4
Chicken breast
Chicken broth
Chili Seasoning- 2
Chips
Cranberry sauce
Ground beef
Half and Half
Italian dressing
Lasagna
Mayo
Meatballs
Milk-2
Paper Towels
Pretzels
Ramen (case, 12)
Rhodes Loafs- 5
Rolls (enough for 2 meals)
Shortening
Sour cream
Sparkling Cider- 2
Tator tots
Teddy grahams
Vegetable oil

My parents have a lemon tree, so I also got my years supply of lemons from them! I juice them all and freeze them into ice cubes, then store them in a ziplock bag.
