Supper Planning Sundays

Below is our meal plan for this week.  It will feed 2 adults, 1 child, and an occasional guest or relative here and there.

Note—when estimating the cost of the meal I add the cost to the initial serving.  Any leftovers are then priced at $0. Dining out pulls from a different part of our family budget and prices are not shown below as a result.
