I can only be pressed about so many things at one time, and right now, my grocery spending is not it. My main goal is to mostly cook at home, and other than that, I’m not stressing for now. Next time I’d cook the chicken, put it to the side, and add it at the very last minute, once the sauce was cooked.

This series helps me stay on top of our grocery spending and currently our monthly budget is $500 for my family of 4. We dined on pizza, carrots and dip, and Girl Scout cookies for dessert. I heated up cooked chicken that I had in the freezer and just added some store bought sauce. Friday: We’re going out for pizza.

Batch cooking: Buy in bulk, batch cook, and freeze in portion sizes. Freezer cooking sessions: This wildly popular cooking technique saves time and money by setting aside a time to prepare a lot of meals at once. Cooked chicken and veggies can be frozen and used in soups or casseroles at a later date.
