Hey Guys, I'm going to try to keep up with posting a menu plan each week...so please feel free to hold me accountable if I slip up.
If you don't use a menu plan, you should start-it's a great way to save money by making sure that you don't forget to pull your meat etc. Some people like to build in time for eating their leftovers. My husband always eats all of ours at work, so I only use one lunch-time per week generally to allow for leftover eating.
A good menu plan can save you big bucks. Before we had one in place, we would not plan ahead for our next meal and end up having to eat out since a good portion of our foods are frozen! Used properly you can also reduce the amount of produce and food that you may throw away each week. I will note examples next to my plan for this week. *Remember* you can always trade out items I have for items that you already have on hand!
