With money tight these days I do everything I can to stretch every dollar. So, when I throw away spoiled groceries at the end of each week, I feel like I'm throwing away money. I knew I had to do something about it right away. So I began to work on a new grocery buying and using strategy. When I thought about it I realized I would buy ingredients needed for only one recipe and those ingredients would go bad before I made the recipe again. So, I sat down and thought about recipes that share the same ingredients and decided to group all those recipes into one week of meals. This way I will be able to use all my groceries without leaving anything to toss in the garbage at the end of the week. This is what I cam up with so far:
Main Groceries:
- 4 Large Split Fryer Chicken Breasts
2 lbs Beef Rib Meat- BBQ Sauce
- Sack of Potatoes
- 1 Bunch of Celery
- 1 Bunch of Carrots
- Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
- Tortilla Shells
Meals:
- Homemade Chicken Soup
- BBQ Chicken
- Chicken Salad
- Chicken Quesadillas
- Cheesy Roll-Ups (tortilla shells and shredded cheese; roll up and cook in microwave for 20-30 seconds)
- Beef Stew
- BBQ Ribs
- BBQ Rib Wraps
- Carrot Stick Snack (left over carrots)
