So I've been trying since probably the start of the school year.. (yeah that's right I'm talking about September) to get better about meal planning. For both budget reasons and for sanity reasons. :) Although I had the best of intentions nothing seemed to stick. It would go well for a day or two and then something would happen and I would end up defrosting something on the fly or ordering out or just microwaving something. So I took to my favorite place for ideas.. Pinterest! And low and behold I found an awesome pin, that led to an awesome blog post. Yay, right? So here is the link to the blog post... here.
Basically the article talks about how this wonderful mom feeds her family of 4 on $60 a week at Aldi's. (and I love Aldi's!) So I figured what the hey.. and wrote out a month's worth of meals following the schedule outline in the blog post.
Meatless Monday
Taco Tuesday
Web Wednesday
Throwback Thursday
Fancy Friday
Sandwich Saturday
Slow cooker Sunday
I am at the end of week one and I must say I love it. I just look at the schedule the day before and make sure I defrost the things needed for the next days meal. And once a week I go shopping for any fruits or veggies needed for that week's meal. It's kind of amazing.
I'll post recipes for this week soon!
