Menu Plan Monday

We are having a Crockpot Week here at StockpilingMoms this coming week which is perfect for Back-to-School! We love using our slow cookers to help allow us more time to be with our kids and get our errands and cleaning done. Spring activities have started for the kids and we need dinner ready and on the table quick.

Enjoy our menu planning ideas. We menu plan because it keeps us from worrying about what is “for dinner”. It also keeps our budget in line when it comes to dining out. When you menu plan it is important to include a family favorite weekly (and a leftovers or dining out night if desired).

We try to make frugal menu plans to keep within our monthly budgets. A helpful tip is to plan meals from your stockpile! Here is a how to get started Menu Planning Monthly. We are participating with Orgjunkie.com.
