Menu Plan Monday

I did my weekly shopping on Saturday this week and without a menu plan. I picked up mostly things that were on deal for stocking the cupboard. My best deal was a Wanchai Ferry boxed dinner, a Macaroni Grill boxed dinner and 1# of fresh chicken breasts for $4 total. We picked up 8 boxes of cereal and some snack food. My savings were a little lower than normal at only 45%, but we purchased some wine and beer and of course, those increased out of pocket - without them, it was closer to 65% savings.

At our house, the focus is on dinners. I tend to only list the main course and any standard side we have with it. We do still have vegetables and/or fruit with each of our dinners, I just don't always call them out.
