I'm sure people have heard about this time and time again, but one thing that really helps us to save money is to plan a weekly (or however long) menu plan. I happened to look at our finances this mornining and I have approximately $30 left for the next week and that has to somehow cover gas for DH's car. Hopefully I will not need any $ for anything. We had some unexpected bills this pay period and some bills were a bit higher as well.
So my goal is to plan a menu that will get us through this next week:
Friday-
Breakfast: pancakes
Lunch: grilled cheese sandwiches
Dinner: Beef stir fry w/rice
Saturday-
Breakfast: eggs and sausage
Lunch: homemade pizza
Dinner: steaks w/sauteed mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes, veggie
Sunday-
Breakfast: pancakes or muffins
Lunch: Mac & cheese
Dinner: hamburgers with homemade oven fries
Monday-
Breakfast: muffins
Lunch:
Dinner: Pork roast w/veggies
Tuesday-
Breakfast: sausage "mc"muffins
Lunch:
Dinner: Texas Hash
Wednesday-
Breakfast: pancakes or muffinsjavascript:void(0)
Lunch: leftover Texas Hash
Dinner: Spaghetti
Thursday-
Breakfast: whatever is here
Lunch: leftover spaghetti
Dinner: pork chops, couscous, veggies
