Thrifty Mommy

by Karen on July 15th, 2008

Since we’re moving soon, we’ve been trying to use up our stockpile of groceries. Here’s this week’s menu:

Sunday - fellowship meal at church (Yummm!)

Monday - hamburgers, tomato casserole, fresh corn on the cob (free!), baked beans

Tuesday - ham (bogo!), mashed potatoes, green beans, biscuits

Wednesday - roast, carrots, diced potatoes, rolls

Thursday - barbeque chicken, rice, vegetable

Friday - pizza at birthday party

Saturday - go out

Don’t forget - If you plan your meals, you’ll be more likely to cook and less likely to go out to eat.

What are you cooking this week?

Karen, you’ve inspired me to do a better job with my menu planning because I do believe that I save money and time when I have a plan.

Thanks for the reminder. (We’ve been eating out too much and doing too many takeout runs these past few weeks.)

I know…I know….the guilt factor comes out. I have to start doing this to make it easier and organized for the week. I will start it this week for a plan next week.
Stop by my blog, my new design is up, yippee!

Starting to plan my meals was the best thing I’ve ever done :). Even though I’ve only done it for three weeks, there is a definate change and it’s something I plan on carrying on doing!

We’re having Tuna Nicoise or Braised Lettuce with Ham tonight, and Spicy Roast Chicken with Cardamom Rice tomorrow. Stilton and watercress Penne on Tuesday! I can’t wait!
