Menu Plan Monday – January 28
I am not sure about you, but I am definitely feeling the need to lower my family’s grocery bill these days. Even with menu planning, I felt that a lot of excess was being purchased and I hate seeing food go to waste. Before I did my menu for the week (and subsequent grocery shopping), I took a good look at what we already have here. I made the menu and made my shopping list. At the grocery store, I did my best to stick to the list, buy on sale and buy store brands where I could. Believe it or not, my total was $58 at check out. Yeah me!
Monday – Slow cooker Orange Barbecue pork sandwiches, baked beans and salad- Tuesday – Shepherds Pie
- Wednesday – Pizza and veggies with dip
- Thursday – Weight Watchers Slow cooker curry chicken and rice
- Friday – Hockey game then open skate so we will get dinner out
What’s on your menu this week? Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie is the ring leader for this fabulous weekly routine and she always has great recipes herself, plus you can find hundreds of additional menus from all of the participants for the week.
