Last week was pretty good according to plan.  We had all of the meals that were on the calendar except with the breakfast for dinner plan because we went with leftovers instead.  The fridge is overflowing with food so there was lots of food to be had and I wanted to try to clear some out to make room for more.  We might have to change out one of the nights for leftovers again this week but we are currently set with our menu plan and we have everything we need for the week.

 The biggest problem with once a month shopping is how full everything is right after shopping but it is nice to watch all those things get used through the month and know that your planning went well.   I feel like I have gotten better at planning what we are going to have and getting all of the things that we need at the store.  This month, I have the added bonus that my dad shopped at Sam's Club for us and got lots of things that he thought we "needed" which included some good food and lots of junk food.  I don't think that we will need to have a lot of shopping this month because we have so many things to make use of first.  The biggest thing that I will have to go back to the store for will be milk and lunch meat.  I am running low on the sugar that we bought at Walmart awhile back so I might need to put in another big order to Walmart or run in and grab the 25 lb bag to restock. 

How are you guys doing with the shopping and availability at the stores?
