Welcome! For those of you who are new to Meal Planning, go to my “Meal Planning” tab here to help you out while you are getting started – lots of great resources.
For those of you who didn’t see my Weekly Wrap-Up, I have decided to up my grocery budget by around $10 to account for more milk and other things I need to be able to get. Remember to reevaluate your situation if you are having a hard time with what you have budgeted, or if you family dynamics change. For instance, my son has moved from formula to cow’s milk.
I have a busy week, so I am using lots of freezer meals to help myself out. I am planning on doing much more cooking in May, once things start to slow down a bit.
