Thrifty Thursday

For Thrifty Thursday, I thought I would share some of my thrifty ideas.

Let's talk about menu planning. 

(Stop rolling your eyes!)

Start out by scanning the pantry and freezer.

Think about the meals you can make from items on-hand.

Make a list of different meals you could make.

Do NOT write down which day you will eat each meal; just make the list of meals.

Post your list, and scan it each night. 

Decide which meal will work for the next day, and be sure to thaw out whatever will

be used.

Do NOT feel like a meal plan ties you down. 

Many people complain that they just don't feel like eating what they originally put

down for that day.

That's why the list works much better!

Any meals still left on the list at the end of the week can easily be transferred to the

new week's list!

Menu planning is not only eliminates 'What's to eat, Mom' stress, but it saves you from

spending all of that money on a last minute rush to the pizza shop!
