Sunday: Day 2 of a weekend long swim meet, so I took advantage of a sale at Giant, buy a store made Stromboli and get a store made pizza FREE. I had leftover rotisserie chicken in the freezer and I used my homemade chicken stock. Wednesday: Leftover soup from Monday night, grilled cheese sandwiches, apple slices.

My husband helps coach and there was so much pizza left over that he came home with a whole pizza, so that’s what we had for dinner. I usually add a side of steamed vegetables and cheap, but tasty homemade garlic bread. Friday: It’s pizza night. My double digit midget requested pizza from a local shop.

It was still a pricey meal, but we did come home with leftovers. We didn’t have any coupons, but the lunch prices are much cheaper than dinners and we had some leftovers to eat at dinner time, along with our leftovers from Saturday night. You can use store bought fajita packs or make homemade fajita seasoning.

I ordered pizza. I stuck the bone in the freezer to make soup with and last night was that night. I served with Pioneer Women’s skillet cornbread and my homemade sugar-free applesauce. Thursday: My family has a choice tonight: leftover tacos or ham & bean soup. It turned out pretty tasty.

My lemon basil pesto recipe is super easy to make and totally addictive! The only hard thing about making pesto is that you’ll have to resist the urge to eat it by the spoonful! Homemade pesto is infinitely better than store-bought! It makes a difference. Wash the leaves, and make sure to dry them thoroughly.

Personally, if I don’t make a shopping list and plan my meals, my grocery budget is toast. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. That is a lot of money, so I plan our meals.
