Meal Plan Monday: Week 4 of $300 Grocery Experiment

It's the final week of my experiment and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm taking the budget right up to $300, but I could have kept it under. I've factored an entire Thanksgiving feast into my budget, and there's still enough room for not only the rest of the week's food, but there's also room for some special breakfasts. If you're just joining me, click here for an explanation of my experiment.

Just a reminder: In the previous weeks of the experiment I budgeted for some items that I'll be using this week, like the yeast and spices along with the turkey. I also kept each of the previous weeks under the allotted $75, so that I could use the extra for the holiday. I'll be spending the last $86 from the $300 to buy all of my remaining ingredients.
Thanksgiving food (the links are to my old blog, because I haven't had the chance to redo the pictures):
turkey
sweet potato casserole
green beans
rolls (made from this recipe, but shaped differently)
stuffing
mashed potatoes
gravy

pumpkin pancakes

Lunches:

Thanksgiving leftovers (I'm not entirely sure what will be left and I'll be with family, so it's likely that we'll just make a meal of any leftovers)

Claire:
When Claire can't really eat what we're having, I make her frozen peas and/or carrots. I've been buying the bags throughout this experiment and including them in the price, but I forgot to previously mention what they were for.

What's on your menu?
