Menu Plan for the Week
Here is the menu for the week. I see a lot of changes I need to make in following weeks to make meals simpler. I know some of you have your days planned out for bread making, baking, and other things that are done weekly. Tips and suggestions are welcome.
Saturday-

S-apples
L-homemade hoagies (made the rolls fresh), potato salad (made with homemade mayo)

For the budget challenge, I will be using items I have canned, but as I run low, I will be refilling my supply. I noticed that I have only 3 lbs of ground beef left on the shelf so either later this week or next week, I will be getting 10 lbs and canning it.
I usually like to make my menu after Wednesday because that is the day the sales come out here. And I hit the farmers market on Saturday mornings.
How is your menu planning and food budget going?
