I looked in my freezers and made a list of what all I had. I am working on getting more food stored when I find sales so I would like to clean out and inventory what I have. I would like to use up some of the older items so that I can start fresh with new meat and vegetables. I am going to try to use up all I can through the end of the month, but I will continue to buy all the almost free coupon deals through the month. I don't plan on purchasing any meat or vegetables unless I see a really good deal. I hope that I can get by with buying eggs, milk, fruit, and bread.
This is my meals that I have planned using what I have:
I have 7 lbs of hamburger
- spaghetti
- tater tot casserole
- hamburger goulash
- burgers
- hamburger helper
- hamburger vegetable soup
- spaghetti
I have 8 bags of cooked chicken
- chicken and white bean soup
- chicken taco
- chicken pot pie
- chicken and rice soup
- tortilla chicken casserole
- king ranch chicken casserole
- chicken and rice bake
- chicken taco
I have two bags of chicken breasts- each with 7 breasts
- chicken marsala
- bbq chicken
One whole turkey
- baked turkey
- turkey shepherds pie
- turkey tetrizinni
- turkey noodle soup with white beans
Miscellaneous items I have
- bag roast beef- make a stew over rice
- 2 burritos/1/4 bags of fajita meat, 2 corndogs- pull out all of these and eat it up one meal
- bag meatballs- make Wedding meatball soup
- lentil burritos
- butterbeans and cornbread- add any other vegetables that are left overs
- quiche- add in any leftovers
So, this meal plan will take me through February 14th. I may go further if we have leftovers or cereal nights. So, my goal is to only spend $50 through the end of the month on groceries.

That's a great goal. You are starting with a good selection too.
