Make sure you check out the Giveaway HERE this week, too!!
Step 1: Find out what meat and produce is on sale for the week
This week at Publix Pork Tenderloin, Chicken Breast, and Shrimp are on sale. In the produce section cantaloupe, asparagus, white seedless grapes, salad, and pears are also on sale.
Step 2: Take an inventory of your pantry and freezer, check out what other items are on sale, and pick several recipes that use those ingredients.
There are good prices for peanut butter, canned tomatoes, flatout bread, and jam. I have oatmeal, honey, and chicken broth in my pantry.
Step 3: Take a look at your calendar for the week and see which nights you’ll have more time to cook and which nights you won't and plan your menu accordingly.
This will be different for every family but, in general, I cook 3 or 4 nights a week and we eat something from our freezer stash the other nights. To learn how to build your own freezer stash go HERE.
Step 4: Get all of the recipes together and make a shopping list of what you’ll need.
