My Menu

What's Cooking in my Kitchen this week?
One of the best things you can do for yourself in meal preparation is to plan ahead! 
Watch the sales at your local market and make your menu and grocery list based on what is on sale. Do this a week in advance every week and it will save you so much time, stress and money.

* $ Money saving tip: whenever we have leftovers enough for an entire meal, we skip a day and have it again, otherwise we just eat it for lunches throughout the week.We save a lot because we NEVER buy sandwich fixings. 

** $ Money saving tip: I also get creative with  and make a whole new meal out of leftovers.
