March Menu Ideas
Click here if you need help planning your menu.
Hi guys!!
Last month was ca-raaay-zy! I got off course with menu planning since I had so many projects going on (and yes totally blew our food budget), but today I took the time to plan out my weekly menu so I’m sharing it with you guys first (as opposed to when the week is complete) This way you all can take advantage of the coupons that I’m using and so forth.
Don’t forget to check what’s on sale in your favorite grocery store using ziplist (in the navigation bar). I hadn’t plan on shopping at Traders Joes this week, but after seeing on zip list that they had organic chicken breast and organic produce for sale I’ve decided to use them this week. I’m so excited that Spring is here!! There are so many fresh veggies and fruits on sale now!! I’m happy!! You’ll be seeing more fresh produce in my upcoming menus. I’m taking full advantage of what the season has to offer at such a low price!! Happy Menu Planning!!

I love this website. I found it searching for the cabbage soup diet. I loved how you laid out the plan. It made it very easy to follow. I was pleasantly surprised to find you offer menu planning and recipes! You are awesome!
