Menu Plan

I learned early on that grocery shopping is much easier when I have a plan for what I'm shopping for.  I have done some sort of weekly menu plan since we have been married.  I used to plan out the meals for specific days but, with my weird pregnancy appetite I've recently just switched to planning what meals we will eat that week and just cook whatever I feel like that day.

Here is our menu plan for this week

Monday- Roast Beef Sandwiches with Au Jus
just deli sliced roast beef cooked in Au Jus (you can buy the packet at Kroger)  on a french loaf and provolone cheese.  everyone enjoyed this meal

Tuesday- Frozen Pizza and Salad

Wednesday - Skyline Chili with Spaghetti
It smelled so yummy while it was simmering that I had to sneak some for lunch, too!  ssshhhh!

Thursday - leftover skyline Chili on hot dogs and fries

Friday - homemade buffalo chicken pizza

Saturday - Out

So there it is.  Some days are super easy and some require a little more work.  Even if it is just a frozen pizza, I put it on the menu so I'm not scrambing for ideas.  Having a plan really helps us not eat out, focus our grocery list and in the end, saves us $!
Also, I know these are not the healthiest suppers!  Just so you know, we do eat pretty healthy for breakfast and lunch.  Breakfast is almost always Oatmeal and Fruit and lunch is usually a sandwich of some sort with some veggies and dip or soup.
