Ashley's Monthly Menu

In an effort to save money, I decided to do a monthly menu for the upcoming month.  I am going to get all the stuff that won't go bad for the month in one trip and then just go back weekly for the little things I need like fruits and veggies.  It's just an experiment to see if planning this way can save us some money on our grocery bill.  So, here is my monthly dinner menu:

1.  Black Bean Tacos
2.  Spaghetti
3.  American Lasagna
4.  Tacos
5.  Hamburgers
6.  Mexican Chicken Soup
7.  Roast
8.  Chili
9.  Tater Tot Casserole
10.  Salsa Mac and Beef
11.  White Chicken Chili
12.  Breakfast for Dinner
13.  Frozen Pizza
14.  Black Bean Tacos (again)
15.  Spaghetti (again)
16.  Hamburgers (again)

I only included 16 meals b/c the other days we will do things like leftovers, eat at my parents house, eat out a couple of times, and do simple things like chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and mac n cheese!

I'll let you know if we save any money on our grocery bill by planning this way!  :)

Ashley's Menu for the Week

I'm not going to put which days I'm going to make each meal because I really don't plan that ahead of time. It will all depend what we are doing that day, how tired I am, etc. I usually just plan enough meals for the week and then we decide each day what we are having!

Week of 4/17-4/23

Barbeque Chicken Sandwiches, Potato Salad, and Grapes
(This is one of my easy go to busy mom meals-I buy a pre-cooked Rotisserie Chicken. Shred half of it/Freeze half of it for something else. Then I just mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce-we like Sweet Baby Ray's, and put it on a hamburger bun with some cheese!)

Spaghetti, Salad, and Green Beans

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches with Carrots and Green Beans

Pork Tenderloin, Baked Beans, Veggies
