Living better, spending less.
When I make meal plans, I don’t necessarily plan on making every item on the exact day I listed. IMy real goal is to make sure that there are ingredients for every meal, every day.
I did pretty well last week–I made everything on my list except pizza. I’ll put it on the list for this week. I also did not come up with the meal plan in time for our shopping trip yesterday, so I am creating the plan around things I know we have.
The Meal Plan for the week of 2/8
Monday: Mexican rice (seasoned rice with ground beef, corn, tomatoes and cheese)
Tuesday: homemade pizza
Wednesday: fettucini alfredo with spinach
Thursday: grilled cheese and tomato basil soup
Friday: broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes
Saturday: Valentine’s Day, and it’s rumored that my parents will be keeping Evelyn so I can go out on a date! Yay! :)
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
