Blew my whole meal budget on Tuesday and Wednesday this week

I planned out a whole week of cheap dinners, rice and beans and stuff like that. Then Tuesday my kid begged for pizza and I caved, spent $18 on a large. Wednesday I had zero energy so I grabbed takeout from the Chinese place, another $14 gone. By Thursday I had $11 left for the rest of the week and had to eat canned soup and crackers. How do you guys handle those days when everything goes off plan without wrecking your grocery budget?

Used to think meal planning was foolproof until my kid wanted pizza.

@susan81 pizza always wins, planning surrenders.
