Sorry I was a little late in getting this up. I had to be a kinda flexible this week with my shopping and menu planning. My menu this week is shorter than usual (we will be going out of town) and very uninteresting. We are trying to use up what we have so nothing goes to waste and that means (carbs carbs and more carbs) a lot of biscuits and potatoes. (the biscuits were a money maker a few weeks back and the potatoes were $0.49 for the 10# bag). I think my family will most likely not want to see another biscuit for a long time after this week.lol.
