Menus for May 24-31 and grocery shopping

Well I mentioned yesterday that I am starting a grocery challenge today.  I am only going to purchase fresh items and completely necessary items (ie toilet paper) until I can no longer do it.  Last night I worked on my menus for this coming week and then today went grocery shopping.  First the menus:

May 24 - lunch:  hot dogs, potato salad, dinner:  pulled pork, potato salad

May 25- lunch:  baked pasta and salad, dinner:  meatball subs

May 26- lunch:  hot dogs, dinner:  chicken on the grill, corn on the cob and veggie packets

May 27- lunch:  tuna salad sandwiches, dinner:  ham, carrots and peas

May 28- lunch:  pulled pork sandwiches, dinner:  sausage, mashed potatoes and veggie

May 29- lunch:  ham salad sandwiches, dinner:  meatloaf, mashed potatoes and veggie

May 30- lunch:  grilled cheese sandwiches, dinner:  payday !!!! eat out

May 31- lunch:  taco salad,  dinner:  graduation party

So then today I went shopping for what I had to have:

foil - 1 box

razors and candy for dd

tomatoes - 3 equalled .89 lbs

cucumber - 1

2.5 dozen eggs

lettuce mix - 1 bag

4 ears of corn on the cob

bananas - 1.55 lbs (this is four bananas)

Total was $17.41  not bad for a week.

I am feeding four adults who are home most nights.  Dh is home for the summer now.  Ds works full time days and part time nights.  Dd is working part time mainly nights.  Friday and Saturday nights there is typically only dh and I.  I am starting to try to eat more clean though my menu is based on what I have on hand.  I will continue tomorrow I hope.
