Things have been crazy around here--aka money has been flying out of the house left and right....AGHHHH>>>> One thing that has worked in the past to keep some money in control is through menu planning. I admit that I have gotten out of the habit. Dinners are usually decided at the last minute and therefore things are just randomly bought at the store and/or we end up getting pizza or fast food. I REALLY need to get back into menu planning and there is no time like the present! So the menu plan for this week is:
Breakfasts: waffles or cereal and fruit and milk
Lunches: sandwiches, leftovers and juice
Dinners:
Monday: Shredded bbq chicken sandwiches (made in crockpot), broccoli, fruit cocktail
Tuesday: Chicken nuggets, chicken wings, leftover sides from fridge
Wednesday: Hamburger helper (cheeseburger macaroni), corn
Thursday: grilled cheese sandwiches, carrots, pears
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: homemade pizza, peaches
Sunday: food from baptism party, whatever we can find.

yum!! Your menu sounds like one from our house!
