Monthly Shopping - June part 1

It sure has been a busy week.  School is out and the kids are as crazy as ever.  I am not complaining by any means.  I understand their excitement, but wow...they are really excited this year.  It seems this year they want to pack their entire summer in the first week...lol.  Between the kids being here and packing I am not getting much time to blog anymore :(  

I promise to make more of an attempt, but for at least the next month I can't see getting much done.  I think once we are moved and settled into a routine (once again!) I will get more time.  I did go out and get the majority of my monthly shopping done (minus the meat and the weekly produce runs).  I did not get a picture though.  It was a quick trip and by the time I got home I was rushing once again so I just did not have the time.  

I will list my trip here along with the remaining items I need to purchase.  Below I will also include the meal plan so you can get a better idea on how I purchase my items a month in advance :)

That means I still have $229.39 remaining for the month so I think I will remain under budget.  Below you will see what I need to buy yet.

The beef cuts may change depending on what is available and what is on sale.  The chicken I have not fully decided if I am going to roast more chickens or just buy chicken breasts.  I guess it depends on if there are any good sales going on :)

Below is the meal plan for June along with some snacks I plan to make.  The first 2 days are leftovers/take out type meals so I didn't include them.  I am rather excited for this month and can't wait to try some of the meals.  Plus I am looking forward to moving into our new place which is much more open with better lighting.  It makes cooking more enjoyable to me when I have room to roam :)
