them in prior weeks at a much better deal than listed on this list, so your weekly total would be much less for the cost of
all seven dinners.)

If you are omitting a meal or item from above, simply look for the corresponding meal number below and cross it off with
a dark marker so that you do not accidentally purchase something you do not need. Feel free to change side dishes around
to meet your own personal preferences and remember to cross out those items as well)
