I typically write my menu out for one month at a time. Typically, it's about this time of the month that I look at the calendar and wonder why I wrote those meals down. I'm not a slave to my calendar, though, and I re-wrote the meals for this week! Most of these items are in my pantry already, too, having been purchased at a discount from regular store prices. If you haven't seen my previous post about learning about coupons, check it out here!
Breakfasts: Muffins, Cereal, Bagels, Milk (appx $3)
Lunches: PB&J Sandwiches, Apples, Pretzels/Popcorn, Milk (appx $3)
Dinners:
Monday- Hot Dogs
Hot dogs, Buns, Fried Potatoes ($2)
Tuesday- Breakfast Night
