Meal Plan With Me - May 2019 Cooking For Cold Weather.

School is back and cold weather is hitting so this month its all going to be about warm meats and vegetables. I may not do a lot of 'bulk' cooking for this month as I'm looking to have more meats I can break down eg roasts. But that still all involves some planning.

 

 

 

My fridge,freezer and pantry are looking very bare! So I'm not only looking for things I need for the month, but also to do a little stockpiling if I can. I have no reason too but I would like to have a little extra in case things pop up unexpectedly ... be a little winter squirrel perhaps!

So for May I have a set budget of $400 for this months big grocery shop plus my usual $50 per week extras budget (usually adds up to $150 by the end of the month). So that would be a total of $550 for the entire month and just around $137 per week on average for our family of 4. My estimate is looking to be $405 for my big shop so thats a little over, however I usually over estimate so my hope is I will come under slightly :)

So that is where I'm at this week. Be sure to check out the matching grocery haul vlog if you want to see what I got and how I went with staying within my budget.
