Friday Menu Plan 11/29

A great way to save extra money in your budget is to Menu Plan. No we don't always exactly stick to the plan and those times we just move the meal to the next week. I always have cereal, oatmeal, muffins and such around for breakfast or we can have smoothies from fruit and yogurt we have in the freezer.  Lunches vary from sandwiches, frozen dinners, leftovers, etc :) This week we are on vacation so we may end up eating out more than we plan just because we will be out and about ;)


Friday: LEFTOVERS!

Saturday: Ham & Beans, Cornbread,

Sunday: Beef & Noodles, Potatoes, Green Beans 

Monday: Spaghetti, Meatballs, Salad & Garlic Bread

Tuesday:  Taco Salad

Wednesday: Chicken, Baked Sweet Potatoes, California Blend Veggies

Thursday: Eat out or leftovers
