Desserts will be Gluten Free brownies, Gluten Free (crust free) pumpkin pie, regular chocolate chip cookies I will make 1 item each week and it normally lasts the entire week as we dont eat it every day (most of the time I end up sending it home with my daughter as she is single and likes taking treats in her lunch). DS doesnt like Gluten Free cookies so he normally grabs himself some ice cream at the store and eats on that when he wants something sweet.
All of this, not counting a gift card for the Omaha Steaks, cost less than $100 and it is comforting and very healthy. We normally eat more fish but I got too good of deal on the meat to pass it buy.
Omaha is having a HUGE 50% sale off this week and I was able to combine it with a gift card I had so I got $179 (retail) worth of meat for $80 (their sale prices) and had a $75 gift card so less than $10 out of pocket! I still have 2 full packages (4 chicken breasts, 4 sirloin strips) and part of the hot dogs and over half of the stuff baked potatoes in the freezer from Omaha that I will use the following week.
Combined with what I had in the freezer (veggies, meat, flour, rice, couscous) and what I picked up at Kroger ($54) I still have $30+ to use at my local produce market for fresh fruit and salad fixings and milk. Even if I had paid the sale price for the meat I would still be at less than $200 for 3 weeks of meals for 3 adults and 1 part time adult daughter who eats at home 3 -4 times per week.
