My menu plan this week will probably change since I am doing my shopping trip in a few days. Last week was my first week trying a menu plan and for the most part I used it, that counts right? I have to admit it was helpful, so I am going to try again this week.
Wondering why I am using a menu plan?
I just checked the weather and it looks like we can still use the BBQ and Traeger, so here’s to grillin’ and smoking again this week.
Monday :: Off to the store to see what looks good.
Tuesday :: Steak, with garlic butter, Baked Potatoes and Caesar Salad (steak is a Money4This food, we like to splurge and have it every so often, and a good steak too.)
Wednesday :: I’m gone and they can’t do it without me. Qdoba for them, unless Monday has leftovers.
Thursday :: Teriyaki Chicken and Rice
Friday :: Dinner with friends, I will take something to share, kids will heat up a pizza
Saturday :: Almost Famous “Rigatoni D” (looks like it supposed to rain, so back inside to cook)

With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then.
