Happy Saturday to all our readers out there! And thank you for checking out our weekly meal plan once again this week. We’ve got a few good recipes coming up this week as well as a restaurant outing. As usual, we did not end up making every meal last week. This was mostly due to the fact that we were gone so often for the Moncton Highland Games – but it was worth it!

I didn’t have time to finish purchasing all our groceries yet so I don’t have a final tally for you. I will say that we are just about on budget, excluding a date night we bought groceries for. This week is looking pretty good financially but I’m hoping we can make it under budget next week.

What meals are you making this week? And what are you doing to cut costs when it comes to grocery shopping? Would love to hear from you – leave us a comment!
