2012 $50 Weekly Menu Plan Week #41 – Some weeks you have to alter your menu plan just a little bit due to different circumstances happening in your life- for us we have several of those circumstances. We’re in the process of remodeling and we have company visiting for the week, so this weeks menu plan is actually for a family of 6!
Since the weather is fairly cool and we have the kitchen area of our home torn apart, we’ll be using the slow cooker a Lot!
This week we purchased the following: 1 gal milk, lettuce, celery, radishes, cucumbers, steaks, dried beans (several packages), italian sausage, strawberries (oddly cheap despite being out of season!), pears, bananas, sour cream, sliced cheese and cornmeal. Total spent $39.66

We harvested the following from our withering garden, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, an eggplant, 2 quarts of grape tomatoes and a watermelon. The crabmeat mentioned in this weeks menu is crab that we caught last spring and froze.

A few things we’d like to share:
For those just joining our weekly menu plans, please note that we raise our own chickens for fresh eggs and are currently collecting 8-15 eggs per day, as such they are frequently incorporated into our weekly menu plans.

You’ll notice that we didn’t list meat in this weeks grocery expense, that’s because meat isn’t currently on sale and the freezer is well stocked. Search for “Meat Restocking Week” for additional details.
