Menu with what's on sale for the week of Mar.2-Mar. 8

If you want to shave more money off of this menu, for the chicken night buy the thighs, drums or leg quarters at Albertson's for .88 lb. It may end up costing more in the long run though, as you have to buy a family pack. I haven't checked Albies yet as to pricing this week. Albies also had "Hawaii's Own" juice concentrate for $1. I had a wonderful menu my first draft but the total was over $90, so I had to re-vamp it. This is what I came up with. Have a good week.

$78.43

Breakfast
1-Cold cereal
2-Egg biscuit
3-Waffles
4-Blueberry pancakes
5-Egg, bacon and cheese taco. Use a couple of slices left over from the bacon sandwiches and crumble them in the eggs. Put egg, cheese and bacon into a flour tortilla and roll up. This can be done the night before and parked in the fridge in plastic wrap, then reheated in the microwave. Great breakfast for in the car, if needed.

4-Stuffed peppers, stuff with Rice A Roni made up, steamed broccoli. If you would like to add spicy or mild dinner sausage (without the casings) to the rice mixture in the peppers, buy Kroger dinner sausage at Fry's for $3.50 extra.
