Menu Planning to Save on Groceries



In an effort to reduce our grocery expenses I am going to participate in Menu Plan Monday.  A fun and inspiring idea I stumbled onto over at I'm an Organizing Junkie.  What a fun site to browse around!

Thus our planned meals for the week:

Barbecued Chicken w/ Green Bean Salad serve with yogurt
Crockpot Chicken Tacos
Homemade Pizza serve with green beans and yogurt
Swedish Meatballs serve with broccoli and veggi noodles
Surf & Turf serve with coleslaw, peas and carrots, and corn muffins
Roast Chicken with Veggies serve with homemade EZ Wheat Bread
Dinner with the Grandparents

I have been menu planning for several months now but the idea of posting this information makes me feel a little more accountable.  Generally speaking I would get too overwhelmed with it all once a week and we would go out to eat.  Thus wasting that food and spending an additional $120.00 or so a month.  We have decided to try and drop that bad habit.  I will let you know how it goes :)
