So, folks, that’s this week’s Monday Meal Planning session. Simple, basic food options. Basic but yummy I say! Also, I wanted to mention that since the holiday’s I have been using my new favorite menu planning resource, Plan to Eat, and I really think you all might benefit from it as well. You can click on the photo below for more information. So now savvy savers, what’s on your menu plan for this week? I’d love to hear about it below!

This is something different. I never saw a post about a meal list. This is a nifty idea.
Yes, meal planning is one of the main ways my family is able to be debt-free, and in the frugal set it’s very common. Lots of things are going on outside the review sector! Thanks for stopping by!
This is such a great way to keep your meals organized. I have wanted to start planning out my meals more now that my father in law has come to live with us. Great inspiration to get started. Do you find that you deviate from the menu much? That is my problem. I would have something ready, and my husband will be like, “not that”..LOL…
Which is why you would want to plan meals that everyone will eat, your family favorites utilizing ingredients purchased at seasonal price point lows. Meal planning helps keep my family debt-free, so we don’t deviate from the plan because the plan is part of our lifestyle. We only cook healthy, organic meals we love. We look forward to seeing our menu daily. My husband looks forward to knowing what meal he will come home to, and my family does as well! Thanks for stopping by!
