Okay, learned a big lesson this week, but I knew I would. I didn’t meal plan last week, because I took a little break. Big Mistake. I way overspent and I was at the grocery way too much. Lesson learned. This week I am getting a great plan in place and doing one to two grocery trips. How about you? Ever learned that lesson the hard way? I would love to hear what you learned.
Also, let me know, what content would you like to see me provide around meal planning? What areas do you feel like you need the most help and direction?

I am lucky. I am going out of town Thursday until Monday and only have to plan for three days
I also have a 15 page paper due in school so we're being a little lazy in the kitchen this week. Lunch should be tuna since I stocked up on the the BumbleBee Tuna pouches at Kroger-I got 8 for .37/each since I also used a $1 off coupon!!!! But I will have enough each night from dinner leftovers to do a 2/1 deal. Dinner will be Hamburger Helper with SteamFresh Steamers Veggies I got for .60 or close to it two weeks ago by combining my sale ad with a coupon.
