92/365 - POTD - Weekly Dinner List [Ways to Save]

I normally plan the coming week's dinners on Saturday, trying to base the menu on grocery store sale items. From the menu, I generate the shopping list and try to stick to it. I post the menu on the fridge (so that I remember what I'm supposed to make on any given night).



Tonight's dinner - Chicken Enchiladas.
The chicken was on sale for $1.79 / pound, and many of the other ingredients are the store brands. A tasty dinner that the kids like.

    Your enchiladas are making me hungry! I use to shop once a week and use a menu. Now I'm lucky if I get two meals out of a trip to the grocery store. I need to get back to my organized, planning mode.

    Oh goodness...now I want enchiladas and it wasn't on my menu this week. So it looks like you are not going to be saving me any money. :P

    Yummy - and hats off to you for sticking to it. We have tried this in theory - but it almost always gets derailed by the 'I'm not in the mood for that' blues sung by kiddo #2.
