This week’s meal plan wasn’t initially what I had written down, because I figured we could find cheaper recipes than all those with fish and seafood. Instead, we’re going to be eating the following meals:
- Tex Mex Casserole
- Spicy Thai Fish
- Broccoli & Cheese Stuffed Pasta Shells
- Pizza – Max won a free pizza from Papa John’s on the radio!
- Cauliflower Wings and Homemade Fries
- Cauliflower Chowder – trying this for the first time!
- Tuna Casserole
If you haven’t seen any of our Weekly Meal Plan posts yet, then I’ll just let you know that I would normally check and compare all the weekly flyers to find the best deals, but since we’re doing a No Spending Month I won’t bother because we are limiting our purchases from Superstore – where we still have $50 worth of gift cards leftover from Christmas, $50 worth of groceries from PC Points – and Costco. I actually just received my Rewards Coupon back from Costco so we have plenty of free money at both stores!
So now that we know where we’ll be shopping, it’s time to make a list of all the ingredients needed for our 7 meals, and put our grocery list in bold font.

- Chili Powder

We should be good for snacks on the most part because I used some points to buy a few snacks mid-week last week. I might buy some Bits & Bites again because they were on sale and I would rather snack on that then continue eating the cookie dough I have in the freezer.
