This Week's Dinner Plans

As we near the end of February, Husband let me know that he's gotten very close to $100 in Ibotta rebates.  Since our grocery budget this month was $180, this has a pretty significant impact on our ability to stretch our food dollars.  With Ibotta deals, he has stocked up on several kinds of yogurt, some cereals, a new product called Truvia Nectar, various teas (the sachets you put in hot water, not pre-made bottles of tea), some Ghiradelli cookie mix, along with rebates on produce, chicken nuggets, and lots of other items.


He's also been getting a lot of good sale and coupon matchups, and he picked up some bread at the outlet store, which was free because we had completed our punch-card.

The produce sales for this week were not stellar, but we had some items in our crisper drawers, so we're set for the week.  Husband picked up a head of romaine for 1.29, a zucchini at .99/lb. and a tomato and bananas that were free with Ibotta rebate.  We still have cucumber, carrots, onions, apples and oranges, and a bit of red pepper.  Here is this week's plan:

M:  Asian lettuce cups (beef, carrot, celery, onion, pepper, cucumber, peanuts, Sriracha, sauce), sliced oranges
T:  smoked pulled pork sandwiches, Waldorf salad
W:  canned soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, sliced apples
R:  super nachos w/lettuce, tomato, sour cream, etc., sliced oranges
F:  salmon with herbed compound butter, steamed rice, cooked crispy onions
S:  spaghetti w/tomato sauce, green salad w/dressing, garlic bread, fruit salad
S:  grilled chicken, mixed vegetable stir-fry, sliced apples

    1. I never did Ibotta when I was doing the shopping - it seemed overwhelming for some reason. Husband has really taken to it, and he's enjoying the 'game' of it all. If you decide to jump in, here is his referral link: https://ibotta.com/r/tvrufvs
