Money Saving Monday
You wrote out your budget. How did it go? Is there more money coming in or going out? Or are you breaking even? If there is more money going out then it's time to take action. Time to cut spending until there is more money coming in. Try cutting out some extras on your cable or satellite tv. Perhaps you don't need that Starbucks fix every day, maybe every other day. The easiest place to cut back in on your grocery budget or eating out. The eating out thing is easy, STOP EATING OUT SO MUCH! There, problem solved. (We'll get more detailed later.) Right now take a look at the extras that are obvious that you could cut out with little to no effort.
Meal Planning Monday
This may look a lot like last weeks menu. That's because we ended up eating hamburgers, hot dogs and spaghetti for half the week. So here's the dinner menu for this week. Hoping to stick to it but I'm not sure I have the ground meat for the lasagna and the meatloaf. I may end up making 15 bean soup with Italian sausage I found in the freezer.
As for breakfasts, we'll be having items similar to last week: eggs, grits, bacon, oatmeal, fruit. This week will be french toast sticks from homemade bread and homemade orange and grapefruit juice. I love my juicer.
spinach meatloaf, steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, rolls
crockpot chicken, steamed carrots, potatoes au gratin, rolls
chicken and dumplings
white chicken chili and cornbread
