This Week In My Frugal Kitchen

Here is a list of what I was planning on making for dinner this week:  
1. Meatloaf 2. Soup Beans, Corn on the Cob, Cornbread 3. Tacos 4. Smoked Sausage, Cabbage & Onions,  5. Grilled Chicken 6. Cheesy Potatoes 7. Spaghetti
And here is what we actually had on the menu this week:
Sunday: Breakfast on Sunday was oatmeal with blueberries, walnuts, and some cinnamon along with some plant based milk. I also had a red grapefruit, which was bought markdown on Friday. Dinner was one of the free cabbages I picked up at the thrift store. I still have one more of those to use up, so it will be on the menu again this week.  Cabbage & Sausage, Corn on the Cob, Cucumbers, Sliced Tomatoes
Monday : Breakfast on Monday morning was fried eggs for my daughter while I had a grilled cheese sandwich. Dinner was more cabbage stir fry with sausages thrown in along with the last of the corn on the cob, cucumbers, and sliced tomatoes. Just a repeat of Sunday's dinner. Cabbage & Sausage, Corn on the Cob, Cucumbers, Sliced Tomatoes
Tuesday: Chicken was on the menu for today, so I took some out of the freezer to thaw. I ended up making Grilled Chicken, along with some brown rice, and steamed broccoli. Grilled Chicken, Brown Rice, Steamed Broccoli 
Wednesday & Thursday: I sorted and rinsed some Great Northern Beans, aka soup beans, on Tuesday evening and put them in the Instant Pot before I left home, so that they would be ready for dinner when I got home.  Soup Beans, Cornbread, Fried Potatoes, Sliced Tomatoes & Cucumbers
Friday: I took some ground beef out of the freezer to make for dinner, but wasn't exactly sure what I was going to make. My daughter said she wanted Hamburgers when I told her what I took out to thaw. On Thursday I bought some potatoes, so I decided to make French Fries to go with the hamburgers.  Cheeseburgers and French Fries. 
Saturday: This was yard sale day, which always makes me tired at the end of the day. So I came home and made some Macaroni and Cheese and added a can of ham to this and served it with a salad on the side.   Macaroni & Cheese, Salad
This was a busy week and I did not post a Frugal Friday post due to that reason. I'll try and do better this week. What's on the menu in your home?
