Okay, so I need to catch up on what we've had the past few days! I am sorry for the delay. Things have been very busy (what's new?).
Today we had:
Breakfast: cereal, Lunch: quesadillas, Supper: cabbage casserole
Yesterday(5th) we had:
Breakfast: Breakfast: poptarts, Lunch: pb&j , Supper: Leftovers
Tuesday(4th) we had: breakfast: bagels and cream cheese, lunch: leftovers(me), ramen for the children, Supper: Pinto beans, fried sausage, fried potatoes and onions with cornbread.
Here is what I have planned for the rest of the month...subject to change. This is in no particular order but this is what I have planned for the rest of the month. If our electric bill comes in lower than budgetted, then we will eat out with that. If there's enough in that envelope then. If not, then there's always next month. Could we go out and eat without doing this. Yep. But, I like self denial. It makes me feel better.

Sometimes there's more listed than the days left in the month. I am listing our options of what's on hand. We always have enough and usually the food lasts longer than anticipated. I have most of these ingredients with the exception of getting more flour, milk and oil.
This should answer the question of, "what in the world do you eat on such a low budget?". I told you, we eat pretty normal....at least it's normal to us. LOL
