 
We have done our grocery shopping for the next two weeks and since I make out a list of meals each time we shop I decided to add it onto here. I usually don't commit to cooking meals on certain days as I can't commit to it that way. For instance, if I am mighty tired from a long day I'd rather fix something quick and easy when "quick and easy" wasn't on the plan. So I just simply make lists and pick what to eat from it according to my mood or energy level.
Breakfast
- doughnuts

**** I simply cannot eat sweet cereal so early in the day and I will be hungry just an hour or two later so what's the point? So I will eat an alternative like whole wheat toast or sometimes just leftovers as long as it has protein. I sometimes eat oatmeal and make our muffins with some whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Doughnuts are saved for when we have a later breakfast or something and I can stomache them alright but I still get hungry soon.... the children don't complain of that happening.

Supper(sorry, we are from the south and supper is in the evening. Dinner is a meal that's ate around 1:00p.m. or 2:00p.m. but if it's ate around 11:00 a.m. or 12:00 noon it's "lunch" If you invite someone for dinner around here they may show up at your door at 2:00 instead of, say, 6:00p.m. so it's always good to clarify what you mean.)

We have enough meals for supper to last a month. We will be out of town a few nights, will eat dinner at my parents for Easter, and will have at least one leftover night. So, on our next shopping excursion we'll just get mainly to replenish our breakfast and lunch goods. I am estimating us spending at the most $375 dollars for the month and that includes paper products and cleaning supplies for the month.
We do have a few "desserts" for the coming few weeks as well. We have ice cream, rice crispy treats, cookies to bake, and fresh fruit.
We are not snackers around here but we have popcorn, fruit, tortilla chips, and fresh bread(who doesn't like to "snack" on fresh bread?)
