Good afternoon, Money Saving Lords and Ladies. It is yet again Monday {odd how those sneak up weekly} and I’m sitting at the keys with the windows open, planning our meals for another week. I printed out 4 of the above pictured meal planners {on recycled paper and with the printer set on draft to save money, of course} and am thinking both short term and long term.
I cannot underscore enough the fact that most of us, if not intentional, will let food spoil in our refrigerator {hello 1/4 of bag of spinach past the expiration date thrown out this morning}. That’s exactly why meal planning is vital in the life and finances of your family. Making the best of what you already have helps you realize just how very rich you are.
Without further ado, here’s what’s on the Royal Table this week:
Monday: Crockpot Lasagna {Leftover from yesterday and it is YUMMY}

Garlic Bread
Apple Slices {Anderson Orchard, FTW!}
