I may be missing some things.  This is just what I needed, some items I already had in my panty.  Just a general idea.  This will last us close to 2 weeks, but may have to run to pick things up here and there.  Since we have cut out processed foods and pre packaged meals and frozen dinners, our grocery bill has gone down considerably!  Spent around $40 on meat and around $240 on the rest. That breaks down to $140 per week...pretty darn good for a family of 5!  In addition to this list, we bought cereal, yogurt etc for breakfast and more fresh fruit a few other snacks and drinks as well (included in the $240).  All of our snacks, breakfast and lunches are mostly homemade as well.  This series of blog post covers mostly dinners.

Look for blog post Meal Plan Part 3 for the recipes for the first 5 meals mentioned in blog post Meal Plan Part 1.
