Menu Plan Monday – 5/20

Menu Plan Monday

Menu Plan Monday

It’s Monday! Time to think about what we’ve got on hand! Yesterday, I planned out the activities for the week, but made just general ideas of what we wanted to eat and refreshed my memory on what we already have. Then I picked up a few items on sale that kinda rearranged my plan for me.

Monday: Leftovers from grilling. There is a pile of pork chops just hanging out. :)

Tuesday: Something quick and easy. We like the Zatarain’s Reduced Sodium Jambalaya, so that will work for the carnivores. I got a package of sausage on markdown at Randalls and it needs to be eaten quickly.

Wednesday: My daughter has a choir show, so this will be a quick night. Big chef salads or something similar.

Thursday: Homemade chicken nuggets using Kraft Fresh Take. This package somehow slipped to the back of the cheese drawer. Served mashed potatoes and corn.

Friday: Pizza night!

Saturday: Leftovers/freezer food. Everyone is always going in so many directions on the weekend.

Sunday: Fajitas! It’s already too hot to cook, so we’re going to grill. I’ll probably also have some chicken ready to go on the grill. Grilled chicken Caesar salads are a big favorite.

Save Money on Gas with Store Promotions

Save Money on Gas with Store Promotions

Menu plan.
Make a grocery list.
Check grocery store ads.
Clip and print coupons.

This is my favorite way to save money – making plans and lists. Before I go shopping, I take a quick peek to see the new ads. Sometimes Randalls will put out a Sunday ad. And that reminded me to print the $5/50 from Recyclebank. That will stack with the $.30/off gas rewards that I’ll get for purchasing $40 in one transaction that I posted about here.

Gas Savings at Randalls

Right off the bat, I’m saving quite a bit.  Also, I have a reward for $15 when I spend $100 on gift cards.  Since I know I’m going to fill up my car, that $100 go to work for me.

So here’s how it will work.

  • Spend $100 + activation fee on MasterCard gift cards, get $15 catalina.  Get $.30/gal off gas.  Whoops, fine print excludes gift card purchases.
  • Then, use the $5/50 I printed from Recyclebank AND the $15 catalina when I go to buy groceries.  I just saved 40% right there, without handing over a single additional coupon.  I also have 2 freebie coupons that I got from Safeway/Randalls on Facebook.  I’ll use those as well, bringing my out of pocket even lower.  Use the MasterCard to pay. This will give me another $.30 off rewards, but they probably won’t stack…
  • Fill up both of our cars with gas, using the MasterCard to pay, again.

Even though I spent $100 + activation fees out of pocket, I’m actually going to get much more mileage (no pun intended) by using that to pay for gas, groceries and anything else I might need this week.
