$75 Weekly Shopping and Menu 11-27-17 - No Getting Off This Train

Oh. My. Goodness. We are STILL eating Thanksgiving leftovers. I haven’t had to cook since Thursday! As such, I really didn’t need much for dinners this week. I bought a bunch of chicken a few weeks ago and turned it all into freezer meals (Look forward to a future freezer meal plan!), so I’m using this week as a light pantry meal week. We’re also eating out twice, so that really helped with the grocery budget, too.

With the extra money, I decided to buy a lot of stuff to fill the pantry- cans of tuna, an extra turkey, bread, butter… I’m really loving these butter prices! $1.99 a box is my stock-up price; I have 4 boxes in the freezer right now, but I plan to do a lot of baking this Christmas so I’ll probably need to buy more. Who else loves baking Christmas cookies?

It’s kind of a boring food week, but here’s what I bought and what we’re eating:
