How many times are you asked that question on the way home from work or school? For me it is a daily question and the answer is usually...I don't know yet kiddos. This week I was determined to try something new to make my nights a little less stressful since my son is now in school. Friday night I sat down with the computer and my coupons and I planned a menu. Once I had the menu planned I went to my stockpile to see what I didn't need to buy and then started the coupon process. Of the 26 items I need for all of my dinners I was able to knock 6 of them off from items in my stock pile. I was okay with that since it was only my first week doing this. Once I had those items marked off I starting going through and matching coupons with what was on sale and looking at my favorite match up sites for deals.
Here is my menu for the week. If you would like recipes let me know and I can post those as well!!!
Monday- One dish Nacho Bake with cantaloupe
Tuesday- Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff with green beans
Wednesday- Pizza Quesadillas with bread sticks and fruit
Thursday- Pancakes and bacon (my kids FAVORITE meal)
Friday- Eat out night
Since my plan is to do my menu each Friday night and shop Saturday I don't have the weekend on this menu.
Let me know what you think of this post...if it is helpful or if you think it stinks!!! I love feedback!
