May Menu Plan

Wasn’t it just a few days ago that I posted the April Menu? And, here I am posting May already. Last month I told you about Little Miss Know It All, and her solution for monthly meal planning, she has 2 menus, one for the Fall/Winter and one for Spring/Summer. Most of the meals for May are repeats from April, I am trying what she suggests and just repeating the menu. However, I did want to change a few things so that I could try some of the awesome recipes that I have been reading on the blogs that I visit.

You can also find my March Menu Plan here.

Every Monday, I post my meals for the week and I do a re-cap of how I did with my budget the week before. I try to stick to my plan as best as I can, but, as you all know, kids and life sometimes get in the way.  That is one reason I like having a plan.  If I forget to get the meat out of the freezer, I can just jump to another night and make that dinner.

I think one of the first steps to being frugal and saving money is to meal plan. I know for myself, if I don’t know what we are having for dinner, I usually end up getting behind schedule and just giving in and running to the closest fast food joint.
