We have really needed to reduce the grocery budget lately and menu planning is one thing that helps alot.  I find we spend alot less if we dont just go to the grocery and buy whatever sounds good that day.  We have also been shopping every other week (with dh picking up milk on the way home from work a few times each week).  We have been averaging 75 - 100 dollars every other week.  This includes all pet food, diapers, toiletries and cleaning supplies.  Here is this weeks menu plan:

Monday - navy bean and ham soup with fresh bread

Tuesday - Sloppy joe sandwiches and carrots

Wednesday - Scalloped potatoes with ham and green beans

Thursday - Apple cinamon oatmeal (crock pot) and scrambled eggs

Friday - Hamburger helper and peas

Saturday - vegetarian chilli and fresh rolls

Sunday - dd's birthday at the bowling alley Pizza!

Isn't that tree neat? At Wolf run you take the trail to the left at first and follow it into the woods. Head towards the woodland trail then head to the Knox woods trail. I think when you get to that loop...I think you go to the left on it is on that section of trail. Hope you can find it. :D

This is Tammy (TChannel4),we have been trying to cut back with our grocery spending as well,or just stretch our meals as much as we can and use what we have on hand first. Prices have gone up so much it's harder to stay on budget with a larger family.

God Bless,
Tammy
