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. 🙂)

You may have already answered this somewhere, but I was wondering. I have noticed that you rotate a lot of the same recipes every week. Do your children complain about the repetition?
Hi Rachel! We have had a lot of repeats lately because I have been so busy and have been on autopilot. They don’t usually complain because they are not eating the same thing several days in a row, but occasionally I will have to remove something from the rotation because they are tired of it. Oatmeal was something I removed for several months and I think nachos are going to be next. It is a balancing act to feed everyone on a budget and not burn them out on cheaper meals–haha!
