Menu Plan Monday - 19 January 2009
Welcome back to another week of frugal menu planning. After last week’s quieries about the fried rice I had Hubby put a little something together for you, and you can find it here.
I raided the freezer this week, which will help keep costs down a lot. Here’s what we’re having.
Monday: Chicken pasta bake. Late last week I got coerced into buying two roast chickens at the supermarket for $3 each, so we have some chicken left over that will make a tasty pasta bake with some pasta, cheese and sauce. Easy, cheap and yum!
Tuesday: Spaghetti Bolognaise. Always a favourite and easy to boot.
Wednesday: Crumbed Chicken. I pick up the crumbed chicken in bulk lots at the butcher. 4 meals for $14. Served with potato & sweet potato mash and a selection of steamed vegetables. Yum!
Thursday: Steak & Pasta. This is one of my favourite meals. Simple and when you pick up steak for half price, cheap as well.
Friday: Fried Rice. Something nice and simple to finish of the week (more importantly something nice and simple that I don’t have to cook!
Saturday: Leftovers. I’m not sure how many leftovers there will be, but hopefully enough for dinner. Otherwise toasted sandwiches it is.
Sunday: Roast Chicken & vegetables. Last week I managed to pick up a couple of roast chickens for $4, so a quick and easy way to feed the family.

That all sounds so yummy! Man I’ll definitely be doing some shopping this week.
Boy! Shopping sales and stocking the freezer sure does save a bundle. Looks like you will be having a tasty week.
We haven’t planned for quite a while. We get close to dinner time and he says what do you want for dinner? Then we can’t come to any agreement. I want to cook something, he doesn’t want the mess and the smell, not the cleaning up either. He seems to just want a plateful of food magically appearing, without any kitchen involvement whatsoever. So, on really hot days, he goes to the chip shop and we eat fish and chips, sometimes just chips straight from the paper. Like today. Other times I cook early enough so that he has no choice but to eat what I put in front of him. hmpf! Men!
I love this. It gets me back into really planning a menu and being able to see everyone else’s means I get new ideas. Looks great!
Yummy menu. I love spaghetti bolognaise!
Looks good!
And you’ve reminded me that I need to go prep tea now before it gets any hotter!
