Meal plan 7-12

Now that the tomatoes have begun to ripen in the garden, I could seriously have homegrown tomato and cucumber sandwiches every single night this summer! But, alas, my family is not as tomato crazy as I am. So, here are the meals for the week but keep in mind that just about every day for lunch I am having that sandwich – including today!

Tuna salad served on a bed of romaine lettuce with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and croutons

Wheat roll

Peach slices (.99/lb at Kroger this week)

Semi-homemade pizza with 2 Mama Mary’s pre-made crusts bought during super doubles a couple months ago, .49 bag of Kraft cheese from Kroger this week (with $5 promo and $1.00/2 coupon), garlic, onions, black olives and fresh spinach and tomato from the garden

Tomato and cucumber salad with light Italian dressing

Grapes (.97/lb at Lowes Foods through 7/13)

The crusts come in a package of 2, so I made 2 pizzas and used 4 oz cheese per pizza. There is enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!

Total cost of 2 pizzas, salad, grapes and milk for the kids: $4.00

Grilled herb and garlic chicken (on sale at Lowes Foods 2 weeks ago for $1.79/lb)

Grilled zucchini and squash from the garden (they are also on sale for .99/lb at Kroger this week)

Total cost of meal: less than $3.00!
