Meal planning

I'm working on meal planning for the next few weeks- for us that means going through the  cupboard stockpile to see what's available, and then filling in the few missing ingredients needed with items that are on sale or free with coupons at the market. Meal planning is a very easy, sensible way to save money.  If you have a meal plan set up, then you are less likely to go out for dinner.  If you do most of the prep work before hand, it will simplify the dinner making process.

Tonight we're having pot roast, veggies, salad and baked potatoes for dinner.  Here is how the rest of the week is shaping up.
