Menu Plan Monday

One of the weekly things that I have gotten into doing is a meal plan.  I do this for several reasons. 

It helps me know what to shop for and therefore I don't waste as much food as I used to.  Which equals, saving money

And it solved the 5pm, hmmmmm what am I going to make for supper dilemma, which would lead to the it's too late to take anything out of the freezer so let's just get fast food instead. Which equals, saving money

And finally, I could match up with the sales and bring the right coupons, which equals.....you guessed it .....saving money!

So I thought I would post this weeks menu plan so you can see what I mean.

Once you get used to it, it is pretty easy and quick to do.  I also try to make Tuesday and Thursday meals pretty quick and easy since that is the days that I am usually working. And therefore don't have the day time to get things underway early on.

Now I by no means stick to this 100% of the time so it doesn't make it as rigid as you may think.  It just gives me a starting point and then I adjust it as necessary. 

On some of the blogs that I have read that do this, the plan out all of their meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner).  Me, I just need help with the, what am I going to have for supper department.  So that is all that I am posting.

Monday - Beef Stew (Traditional Newfoundland Stew at that!) - Recipe to be posted on Wednesday
Tuesday - Sloppy Joe's
Wednesday - Curry Chicken with Broccoli
Thursday - Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Friday - Deluxe Turkey Dinner
Saturday - Pot Roast
Sunday - Hushia

Do you do a meal plan?  I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
