Cents-Able Menu - Week of January 23


We had some good produce sales this past cycle.  Broccoli was .98/lb, yellow squash, tomatoes and onions were all .50/lb, opal apples were .88/lb, and oranges were 6/$1.

Husband also picked up some bananas with an Ibotta rebate - he got three bananas for 4 cents after the rebate.  He also got a great Ibotta deal on yogurt (.17 per carton).  He was also paid 23 cents to get a box of Nature Valley oat clusters, thanks to the sale and the Ibotta rebate.  Daughter and I plan to have sliced banana (we would share one) with yogurt and some of the oat clusters as a breakfast - super affordable!  These offers all re-loaded for him, too, so we were able to use them again a few days later.

They don't show up on this week's menu, but Husband also picked up 6 boxes of Kraft macaroni and cheese for 1.00 (total) with sale and the Ibotta rebate.  The rebate was just for 3, but the offer was re-loaded and he utilized it twice.  Annie's macaroni and cheese was free this week with the sale price and a coupon he had.  We don't eat mac and cheese often, so this will stock our pantry for quite a while.

We didn't buy any meat this week, so the meats listed below were bought on sale previously and stored in the freezer.  The chicken fajitas planned for last weekend were rolled to this week.  Daughter had her first sleepover, and Husband and I went out on a date!  Here is our dinner menu for the week:

M - Italian sausage 'chili' with crackers and parmesan cheese, sliced apples

T - chicken fajitas, Mexican rice, lettuce-tomato salad, sliced oranges

W -Asian lettuce wraps, sliced oranges

R - grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, cucumber kimchee, steamed rice, apples

F - vegetarian tacos (lentil filling), lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream, chips & salsa, oranges

S - chili-cheese dogs, homemade oven fries, carrots & celery, sliced apples

S - flatbreads with Turkish seasoned beef, zucchini, lettuce, tomato, onion and sour cream, hummus with za'atar and vegetables, sliced oranges

What's on the menu this week at your house?
