It’s Monday… again ??? Boy I was right when I told my co-worker on Friday that we only have 48 hours and we need to be back to work.. now I have a few hours of sleep left and back to the office… We did have a busy weekend here in central Florida, as usual we did a lot of cleaning, yard work and then we also took a trip to IKEA, I love IKEA. This is one store that I’m used to visiting from home in Germany and it always makes me feel warm and comforts me when I miss my family. Hubby and I went without the kids… it was soo nice, guess you could call it a date.. J. We treated ourselves to some “linger” ( past lunch but not quit dinner..lol) and I had to try all the yummy things that are so normal for Sweden and even Germany. Hubby thought I was like a kid in the candy store, I must have grabbed 3 (!!) different entrees and I even paid for a pear soda, now hold your breath, I paid $1.59 for a can of soda.. me, Miss cheap… yup… anything for a taste of home, to me that’s priceless and I probly would have paid $5 bucks for the can… ahhhhh it was soo good… the entrees and the almond cake for dessert were soo yummy……. If you have an IKEA nearby check out their yummy food…. Okay talking about food, let’s see what will be on our meal plan for this week…

A lot of my friends check this Meal Plan and I always get this response ” Wow, I can’t afford to eat like that”…. So I wanted to tell you guys, this is everything I buy with coupons and groceries for 75% off or more, if you aren’t a couponer or a believer, check my weekly shopping trips and my Coupon Class to get you started.. Every one of our meals if only a few $$ for all 5 of us… I don’t think any meal is ever over $5 for 5 of us, so a Buck a person !!! If you have any questions, message or e-mail me I’m more than happy to help:-)
Also, I will post a new Crockpot recipe each Thursday, check out the ones we’ve made so far HERE
