Re: what is your menu for the week?
Sorry, no menu here. I pull something out of the freezer each afternoon and try to use whatever I have fresh in the fridge. We rarely decide what's for dinner until that day, although we also rarely make special trips to the store for anything because I try to keep the essentials well stocked.

Re: what is your menu for the week?
I have never had a menu. We eat out of our pantry, a few basic meals, that vary with the seasons. A lot eggs, and bread, and beans, and torillas, and potatoes. Lots of combinations possible. I think it is very possible to be thrifty without a menu, if you eat many of the same basic low cost foods. Every now and then we have to use up a vegetable, but so many dishes can do that.

Re: what is your menu for the week?
Why so many menus?
I found that I was not eating a balance diet and need to use what I had in the freezer. As I do OAMC by mini plans. Cooking up a meal for four then freezing three portions in which I needed to use up within two months. These are menus for using up whose frozen dinners and having other meals at the same time. I have lived alone for past ten years. At the moment I am living off my freezer and pantry for next few months. I'm posting an item on 'Meal Strategies for one' in my Blog in the next few days.

Re: what is your menu for the week?
Monday...Pork chops, corn, rice
Tuesday...Tuna Helper Wednesday...Pasta w/ sauce Thursday...Sloppy Joes Friday...Sandwiches, macaroni salad It's amazing how much money I saved by planning a menu...usually a month at a time. I used to hit the grocery store each day after work to pick up something for dinner. I can't even begin to think how much money I wasted by doing that.
