My goal is to provide dinner for my family for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! I shop the grocery sales each week. Then I plan my menu based on the foods I have already at home (at a great price). I balance more expensive meals with less expensive ones. Because we cook multiples of each dish, we spend less time cleaning, cooking, and meal planning!
Right now I have a lot of chicken and pork in the freezer. I’m only including the sides that I have
planned since we eat a lot of fresh fruit and won’t know what fruits
will be on sale each week.
Dishes We’re Cooking (Hubby cooks a lot when he’s home)
2x Chicken Tortilla Soup (left from February’s menu)
5 Minute Onion Mushroom Pork Chops over Rice (left from February’s menu)
Planned Fast Food
Wendy’s on half price kid’s meal night
We make it a point to eat leftovers every few nights, so this should be plenty of meals to get us through the month of March.
I’d like to work in a few new recipes this year. I’d love to hear
your suggestions of things you haven’t seen on my menus before!
