Please Note: I post my weekly menu to encourage menu planning and to give meal ideas, not as a nutritional standard. You should feed your family based on your priorities and values. You may not be able to replicate this exact menu for $125 because sales vary by region and you will have different items on hand, but you can save money just by using a menu.

I love that yall can have sandwiches for meals. My husband eats sandwiches for lunch everyday he works, so when he is off- thats the last thing he wants on our menu:)

Simple:
Wine and Xanax.
