Menu Plan Monday (dinner only)

Here's the frugal menu plan for this week for our family of 5.

Monday - Rice-a-Roni (2 boxes, $4) and salad ($2 plus dressing)
Tuesday - Roast ($5 or so) and salad ($2 plus dressing)
Wednesday - Spaghetti ($1 noodles, $1 sauce, $2 hamburger + will add any leftover chopped
frozen veggies $0) and green beans ($1)
Thursday - Orange Chicken and Rice ($5) and broccoli ($2)
Friday - Keilbasa Turkey Sausage ($3), Frozen Corn ($1), Homemade bread ($1)
Saturday - Baked Potatoes ($1), Creamed Corn ($1), Finger Steaks ($4)
Sunday - Turkey Pot Pie ($5 or less using leftover turkey from the freezer, leftover frozen veggies, and cream of chicken soup for the sauce)

Total Cost: Under $45

That's $9 per person for the week, or $1.29 per person for each meal.

Notes: We paid less, as many of the items were purchased on sale. And there will be leftovers from all of the above to feed many of us lunches as well.
