Couponing: October, Week 1

I feel like my week #1's are always the most expensive week of the month. Not exactly sure why that is, but this week is no exception.  (And having already done my planning for next week, I fear that total might be just as steep.)  I did get some good deals this week, but nothing spectacular. I think this was because the vast majority of my coupons expired 9/30 and I didn't replenish until after my shopping trip on Sunday (6 inserts!). Anyway, here we go...


Meal Plan:

Monday: Steak with brussel sprouts
Tuesday: Smoked sausages/hot dogs with baked beans
Wednesday: Shrimp pasta with an alfredo-pesto sauce
Thursday: Pork chops and pierogies

Freezer:
Hmm...I think all I got for the freezer was an extra box of pierogies. :-/ I'm kicking myself for not getting an extra package of sausages to freeze - when you see the price, you'll know why.
