Shop With Me at C & R Market (Boonville, MO)

Grocery Shopping has just become expensive. The ad that I am using today had the best deals for making a week shopping list. There are 7 meals for 4 people and there will be enough leftovers for lunches. I will also include a couple of snacks and breakfast.

1. Tuna Noodle Casserole. This is just using the basics, but you are more than welcome to substitute whatever you like. 2 packets of tuna 2.00, noodles 2.19, condensed soup (chicken) 1.66 and a can of peas .69.

2. Chili Dogs & Homemade Fries. hot dogs 1.66, canned chili 1.99, hot dog buns 1.66, 5 lbs. of potatoes. (You will use these later as well) **you can always use some of the cheese that is purchased for sandwiches.

3. Frozen Pizza. 3.79

4. Spaghetti with Italian Sausage & Salad. Italian Sausage 3.49, Marinara Sauce .99, Noodles .99 and Salad Mix 1.99.

5. Deli Chicken Sandwiches with Soup. 1 lb. of Chicken Deli Meat 6.99 lb., 1 lb. of Sharp Cheddar Cheese 7.99, loaf of bread 1.99, can of soup 1.99.

6. Grilled Cheese with Soup. Leftover cheese from deli night. Add another can of soup that was on sale for 1.99.

7. Sausage and Potatoes. Zatarain's sausage 3.99 with the 5 lbs. of potatoes already purchased.

For snacks I would purchase the Best Choice ice cream that is 4.99 for 4 quarts. The oranges are also a good purchase at 3.99 for 3 lb. bag. Breakfast will consist of the big bags of Malt O Meal Cereal for 2.99. Purchase 2 bags.

This menu also assumes you have a few items on hand. These are: milk, butter, salad dressings and ketchup (for your fries).

Total Cost Before Taxes: $62.75.

This will leave you extra if need be to spend on other items not on this list that you might need.
