I know, menus are hit or miss around here. I seem to do a LOT better when I have a menu to go from so I usually have one jotted down in a notebook. It doesn't always make it on here. I'm a little frustrated by our actual spending numbers from February. Friday was the last payday so we went ahead and ran things. We spend nearly $150 LESS by not going to WalMart for our groceries....YAY! And I think we got a lot more, too. But, we also STILL spent nearly $400 eating out. How is that even possible?
So, I told my husband except for our payday eating out day, NO MORE. We have to get a handle on this one. It is eating our budget away. Huh, literally. I could have done a lot with that money!
So,
Monday: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and peas
Tuesday: Grilled chicken, noodles, mixed veggies, rolls
Wednesday: Stufed Shells, salad, breadsticks
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Pizza (frozen)
Saturday: Smoked pork BBQ, oven fries
Sunday: Roast, mashed potatoes, some sort of veggie, rolls, yorkshire pudding
Breakfasts: Oatmeal, turkey bacon, eggs in a basket, cereal, bagels, yogurt, bananas
Lunch: Leftovers, ham or turkey sandwiches, PB sandwiches, ramen noodles, cheese and crackers
Hope you have a yummy week planned! Check out more menus HERE!!

I try to get a somewhat week's worth of dinner ideas going on Monday too. That's when I do my grocery shopping. Which is today... And I must get out the door soon! :-)
I usually shop on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It is usually a time that I can scoot away from the kids and go alone (more nicer that way). Having a plan helps lower your grocery costs by a ton (I know;) And it helps to lower my stress to have a plan rather than scurrying around at 5:00pm trying to defrost something.
