I am new to Orgjunkie.com Menu Plan Mondays but I am not new to menu planning. This month however I started a cash only budget for my groceries. I allotted $200.00, I am not sure it is going to be enough so I hope planning our meals will help reign me in!

Welcome to Menu Plan Mondays! Your menu looks great. Good luck sticking to your grocery budget. :)

ReplyDeleteYour menu looks great, especially the stir-fry. My FFIL makes a mean stir-fry and mine just isn't the same as his.
I'm new to the orgJunkie link up too :) Good for you on switching to a cash system! Our whole budget is based on an all cash/envelope system, and it works great!
ReplyDeleteIs the $200 monthly or weekly? How many are you feeding with that? We're a family of five and had a $50 a week/$200 a month grocery budget for quite a while, but recently bumped it up to $100 a week/$400 a month, since we're transitioning to an organic/whole foods diet.
