*Recipes come from my own collections of recipes I have collected through numerous sources including but not limited to the internet. Some recipes from this week
can be found at www.allrecipes.com.

Estimated total for all 7 dinners is less than $43.00  (why not splurge on some
dessert for a few dollars more!)
(Remember, you actually probably already have a lot of these items, especially the items in red and may have
purchased them in prior weeks at a much better deal than listed on today’s list, so your weekly total would be
much less for the cost of all seven dinners.)
If you are omitting a meal or item from above, simply look for the corresponding meal number below and cross
it off with a dark marker so that you do not accidentally purchase something you do not need. Feel free to
change side dishes around to meet your own personal preferences and remember to cross out those items as
well)
