Making a menu each week is essential if I do not want the temptation of running to our local Little Caesar's Pizza place for a couple of $5 pizzas.
While $5 pizzas are an "easy to justify" purchase, I mean come on, they are convenient & the kids totally LOVE them...
BUUUUTTT.....
We are trying to save money, not spend it carelessly. So I try to stick with a menu.
So here it is our menu for this week. I did assign meals to particular days, however, that is all subject to change.
Sunday - Spaghetti & Salad
Monday - Grilled hamburgers & hot dogs, corn, pasta salad & homemade fries
Tuesday - Hashbrown & Pork Chop Casserole
Wednesday - Breakfast (pancakes, eggs, sausage & toast)
Thursday - Chicken tortilla wraps, corn & salad
Friday - Leftovers (possibly date night with hubby with our free dinner coupons to Outback)
Saturday - Homemade pizzas using the fastest & easiest homemade pizza crust ever!
Disclosure: We do eat out sometimes, we just try to plan and budget for it if at all possible. I just feel "guilty" if we eat out because of my unpreparedness...
Linking up to Organized Junkie's Menu Plan Monday
The Hashbrowns and Pork Chops look good. I never know what to do with pork chops.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean..This will be the first time I made this recipe and anxious to try it.
