			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />&#8230;and I&#8217;ve decided to tackle a monthly menu for June instead of doing weekly menus. So here it is:</p>
<p><a href="http://abittersweetexistence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/June-Menu.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1588" title="June Menu" src="http://abittersweetexistence.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/June-Menu-1024x860.jpg" alt="" width="947" height="796" /></a></p>
<p>You can click on it to enlarge it in a new window. My scanner cut the left side off a bit, but you get the idea.</p>
<p>So after I made this, I made a grocery list for the month- also bold. One for Walmart &amp; one for Costco. I thought I&#8217;d buy the meat at Costco, but Hubby said he doesn&#8217;t want frozen Tilapia, so I&#8217;ll go buy that fresh tomorrow.</p>
<p>I went to Walmart today and I realized that I have a boat load of frozen ground turkey in the freezer, so I didn&#8217;t buy any of that. We already have turkey deli slices, tuna and some frozen chicken breasts. So I didn&#8217;t buy any of that&#8230; I&#8217;ll have to find the meat market- there&#8217;s one here in town tucked away on the back desert roads. Hubby tried to find it once and couldn&#8217;t so I&#8217;ll venture out tomorrow.</p>
<p>I am a shortcut cooker, so I don&#8217;t buy a lot of fresh items. Mostly because there&#8217;s only two of us and if I buy an entire head of broccoli, it&#8217;ll go bad before I get the chance to cook it all. So I buy frozen and canned- whatever. Judge me not. Today at Walmart we spent 104.24- and if you take off the inflatable pool, hand pump, shorts and other non-food items we bought- I think we did damn good for buying pretty much one month&#8217;s worth of food. This doesn&#8217;t count the meat that I may need to buy later on or the rolls/buns for sandwich nights- I didn&#8217;t buy that either.</p>
<p>I hate that you have to buy an entire 4 or 8 pack of burger buns/rolls. It gets like 114 degrees here. Bread goes bad faster than you can blink and Hubby&#8217;s not really into freezing &amp; defrosting bread. So I&#8217;ll buy that when we need it. I&#8217;d prefer, though, if WalMart or Albertson&#8217;s gave me the option to just buy <em>three</em> rolls to make sandwiches.</p>
<p>Anyway, my friend Jenny over at <a href="http://www.monkey-toes.com" target="_blank">Monkey Toes Shoes</a> is who inspired me to make a month&#8217;s menu. So, take a look, steal some recipes and enjoy. I use recipes from <a href="http://www.kraftrecipes.com/home.aspx" target="_blank">Kraft Foods Website</a> and the <a href="http://www.5dollardinners.com/" target="_blank">$5 Dinner Mom</a> book that I own.
