Last week I decided to do things a little differently. Then I took it even further than originally planned. I planned several weeks in advance and then made a huge grocery trip to Aldi for at least 2 weeks worth of food. Then I made menu plans for 3 weeks, and I keep adding to it every time I think of sometime or spot a yummy recipe somewhere. The plan is posted on our magnetic chalkboard wall & the kids like it there, too.
Now, it’s scribbled on, has arrows & changes all over the place all ready, but it’s a plan and I’m thankful for it. A few of you left comments about your monthly plans & it certainly inspired me. Thank you!! Hope you’re inspired to plan ahead.

Thanks for visiting “2 Make Ends Meet” this morning!
Your “Chicken Corn Chowder” sounds like my kind of soup!
I’ll call you Wednesday! LOL! I’ll stop by on my home from Warren and then over to bible study! LOL
Ok, not really, but it’s fun to think i could!
I like to make big shopping trips too in hopes of getting nearly everything for the month. I also like to menu plan for a month at a time. I do sometimes do as you did and just get one or two weeks done and first and then keep filling in as I think of things.
Dorito Casserole is MY FAVORITE!! We gotta get that on our menu plans!
I am sure you have before… but you can you post the recipe for Dorito casserole? I was trying to find one and there are so many….
