Low Budget Menu: Week 2

Okay, so the goal for my menu this week was $50, but we were nearly out of everything at home.  I stocked up more than I had planned, BUT... it means that I've got some things that will carry over to next week, so I think it will even out.  I also included snacks on my menu this week.  My boys get an afternoon snack every day that their daddy works (because we have a late dinner), sometimes on other days too.  I have not been including them on my menu, then I get stuck and have to try and come with a quick solution --- I am done with crackers and cereal for snacks!

Monday
Oatmeal with Craisins
Sandwich wraps, celery, grapes
