2 week slow cooker menu/ grocery list

I hate going to the grocery store! I try to go only once every 2 weeks. I go on Sundays after church along with the majority of people in this town. Even though Sunday grocery store excursions are horrible, I have found that if I do not go on Sunday I will not go at all! Once home I put all foods together and package them in freezer meals. 

All meals are enough for 2 nights. You can either split the recipes in 1/2 and freeze separately or just prepare left overs. (That is what we do)

The only meal that you will need a side with is the BBQ chicken (We had steamed cabbage) and the gyros (we had hummus and chips). You can always change the list as your wish. 

When I shopped all these groceries cost about $175. Some of the ingredients you may already have at home. You may have more patience than I and use coupons. 

I will give you some parting advise. Stick to your list, do not shop with children (you will end up over spending due to the incessant "Can I have this?"), and mark off what you have purchased (Did I mention how I hate when I have forgotten something?)

Hope you enjoy all these great recipes and check back for more grocery lists!
