I hope you all enjoy the meals this week. This week the recipes either came from http://www.allrecipes.com/ or my own personal collection. It has been a little stressful around here. We have had sick little ones all weekend. I did not put totals down so if there is anyone who wants to add it up, feel free leave a comment. I have a printable version from Scribd.com or you can just view it from the post. You will find the printable coupons right here in the post this week. (Remember, you actually probably already have a lot of these items and may have purchased them in prior weeks at a much better deal than listed on this list, so your weekly total would be much less for the cost of all seven dinners.) If you are omitting a meal or item from above, simply look for the corresponding meal number below and cross it off with a dark marker so that you do not accidentally purchase something you do not need. Feel free to change side dishes around to meet your own personal preferences and remember to cross out those items as well.
