Weekly Menu~ June 26- July 2

Posted by Holly Nelson on Friday, June 24, 2011 Under: Weekly Menu Plan

I can tell you I could easily spend $100.00 a day in groceries. Boys eat A LOT! Of course, you know that is not even an option to spend that much money. I've had to go back to my very frugal ways to be able to fill their tummies but not break the bank. It's really amazing to see what healthy foods you can feed your kids, when you just put some time and effort in planning.

I am all about healthy foods, but I was never a tyrant about never eating snacks. I guess I have to be now, though. We just can't afford that kind of food budget. With my boys- if we have it, they will eat it. It's one reason why we have never bought in bulk.

There is the constant, "There's nothing to eat!". When there is a pantry, fridge, and freezer full.
So, my solution: Make a snack list and post to the menu side of the fridge. No more whining for food.
