TITLE GOES HERE




So after that last post I went to the grocery store with my well prepared list which had all the items I needed to get for five dinners and the other essentials like milk and coke etc etc. The total was $114! That is so good for five dinners plus I got smart ones meals for my work lunches for $1.77 each. Anywho I came home and made this contraption out of an old pegboard/picture frame I had. I am really going to stick to this so we can have more food for less money and he stop eating out or grabing a subway when were lazy which is to often.


The recipes are just pinned on but everything else is permanant so I can switch them out every other week.



I also cleaned out the fridge and pantry and organized all my exciting new groceries. Logan is obsessed with and spray bottle and loves to help clean, I had no problem putting him to work. Yeah he has no pants, dont be hatin, he gets it from his momma.

I find that pants-less cleaning is superior to cleaning with pants as well...

And I find pants make me sweat when I clean myself!!! :o) not when I clean MYSELF... when I'M cleaning... wow - that took a bad turn

Dude, make me one! And send Logan over! You are right, he loves spray bottles. I've got to keep mine out of reach when he comes over! LOL

Now I am hatin but not because of the pantless child, but because that little bulletin board has a pic of said pantless baby with his non-favorite aunt Alyse, but not his favorite aunt...ME!

What the fuh?

Can I come over when you make the pot roast? It's my all time favorite meal. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

You really got a lot done on your day off! Logan was so cute, helping you out, with no pants even.

Boys and pants do not go together. Mine likes to wear cowboy boots and nothing else.

Loving the cheap meals - eating out is a hard habit to break! (Let me know if you make it - we're still working on that one.)

What a great idea! I found a white board weekly calendar that I've been planning meals on for two week time periods over the last couple of months. I find that if I do it that way I only have to hit the store twice a month and we save SO much money on not eating out and are eating healthier too!

I love the Board you created! It's much more aesthetically pleasing than my hastily-written meals, although it all does the same job, right?!
