Menu Plan Monday ~ Saving Money in my Frugal Kitchen ~ Week # 2 March 2025

 

My Frugal Week

This was another week of eating at home to save money. No eating out, take out, or fast food. I wash my dishes several times each day,  so my kitchen stays neat and tidy, so that I want to go in there and cook. 

 

What’s for Dinner

Monday ~ Chicken Tacos, Tortillas, Red Onion, Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, and Lettuce. 

Movie Night Tuesday ~ Homemade Pizza 

Wednesday & Thursday ~ Lentil Loaf, Mashed Pot, Green Peas

Fish on Friday ~ Salmon Patties, Green Beans with Onions, and Baked Sweet Potatoes. 

Saturday ~ Bailey attended an event in Marietta, Georgia, so I was on my own for dinner, which was a plant based meal to save money on meat. Baked potato with broccoli and black olives and a salad. 😋 

Sunday ~ Chicken made in the slow cooker, using one can of enchilada sauce. Roasted Vegetables (Potatoes, Celery, Carrots, Onions), and Steamed Broccoli. The chicken was so good with the enchilada sauce. I’m going to make it that way more often. 

We served two meatless meals this week to save money on meat.

What’s been on the menu in your home this past week?

  5. Ohhhh, the chicken in the slow cooker sounds amazing. I have actually seen enchilada sauce for sale in our grocery store.

  6. Good for you! We did take-out lo mein one night... a splurge for me!

    I simply must have all dishes put away before I go to bed. And before dinner too. It's amazing how they can pile up -- even with a dishwasher!

    1. Yes! They pile up easily when you mostly cook at home, so I do my best to not let that happen.
