CVS - Week of 12/9

Not a whole lot of great deals this week, but there are a few items you may want to stock up on.  This week CVS is offering $10 EB rewards if you purchase $50 worth of certain gift cards.  This is a great deal for those of you with kids, or if you can give it as a Christmas gift.  I usually get a gift card to either Baby Gap or Old Navy (or whichever children's clothing place) and use it to purchase clothes throughout the year for my little rugrat because I know she's going grow out of things SO fast!!  I'll take that giftcard to Old Navy, shop the clearance rack at the end of the season for next year AND use a coupon to Old Navy.  Great way to buy clothes :)

Money Saving Meals: Menu Plan 12/3-12/9

This week I have really been trying again to use things that I already have.  I really want to see my couponing and stocking up paying off this month.  I know it's not much help to you since I'm not eating around this week's sales, but hopefully some of the simple and limited ingredient recipes below can help you with your meal planning and grocery budget this week.

My goal for each week in December is to only spend $25 on my weekly groceries.  Shouldn't be too terribly hard considering it's the holiday's and we'll be eating a lot with our families.

Here's this week's menu plans.
