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. 🙂)

How do you make your cabbage slaw?
Hi Rachel! The recipe for the slaw is at the bottom of the recipe for the BBQ Sliders here: https://thepeacefulmom.com/2012/08/08/bbq-pork-slider-with-red-cabbage-cole-slaw/
Just want to say thank you for posting these. Unfortunately, my family has to live off of food stamps. We get $500 a month, so looking at your weekly meal plans gives me ideas that keeps us within our budget. We’re having bbq pulled pork sandwiches for sure this week!
You are very welcome Ashley. 🙂
