milk (1 gallon $1.97)
eggs (I went ahead and got extra - 18 eggs for $1.99)
optional: 1 loaf French bread ($1.59)
optional: 1 tomato

In total, I spent $18.06 on this week's dinners.

I will be using from my pantry:
1 loaf cheddar cheese
1 lb ground beef
6 chicken breasts
2 (5 to 7 oz) cans boneless, skinless salmon
Simply Potatoes refrigerated Southwestern style hashbrowns (I also saw a new brand of refrigerated hashbrowns on sale this week for $.69. They don't make Southwestern style, so you'd have to add some spices to get the heat in the salmon patties.)
salsa
1 (15 oz) can green enchilada sauce (I'll use 2 (10 oz) cans)
1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
flour tortillas
1 bag egg noodles
rice
bread
saltine crackers, breadcrumbs, etc
frozen corn
frozen peas
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
honey
mustard
tartar sauce
butter
Worchester sauce
rice vinegar
peanut butter
soy sauce
sesame oil
oil
flour
brown sugar
chili powder
garlic powder
minced onion
seasoned salt
dry mustard
salt
pepper

I will stock up on these deals:
4 more Don Julio tortilla chips ($.88 each = $3.52)
5 (24 oz) jars Pace salsa ($1.88 each = $9.40)
1 more Western Family sour cream for next week ($.78)
3 (16 oz) Chachies refrigerated salsa ($.99 each = $2.97)
12 pack Frigo string cheese ($2.59 plus I had a $.40/1 coupon)
2 lbs ground beef to freeze ($3.38)
2 Western Family light cream cheese ($.99 each = $1.98)

Just as a public service announcement, I thought I'd share that Reams is having an amazing sale on boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They are advertising frozen 10 lb boxes for only $13.90 (that's $1.39/lb!). It looks like this is a while-supplies-last, limit-1-per-customer kind of deal. I had to take Grandpa to Costco the other day, so I picked up a frozen 10 lb bag for $19.90 since we were running low on chicken breasts. Otherwise, I would be sure to go pick up some chicken!
