Dinner Tonight: Budget Friendly Shopping List: Week of December 11, 2023
Dear Friend,
Here is your weekly meal plan and shopping list!
This week, shredded cheddar cheese will do double duty for both your tacos and the Hot Stuff Casserole on Thursday. We’ve also added parmesan cheese to the shopping list as an optional topping for the tortellini soup, but you can omit it if you’d prefer.
Please note that the recipes provided may serve different numbers of people. The shopping list is built from the recipes, so depending on the size of your family, you may need more or less of some ingredients. Remember to check the serving sizes before you shop so you can adjust your list to work for your family!
