Menu's 1/25-1/31



I absolutely cannot believe that this is the last week of January. I didn't even realize it until I just now typed the dates in for my post. Is it just me, or is time flying like never before?


Anyway, last week's menu went off without a hitch. I love it when that happens!


This week is turning out to be busier than expected, so I'm hoping that it all still goes well.

  • Sunday: Hamburgers. ($3.00. 2 lbs meat @ $1.30/lb, buns from bread store .67) French Fries. (A friend bought these for a recent fish fry and were extra. Free.) Applesauce. (.85)($3.85)(5 servings=.77/ea)
  • Monday: Shepard's Pie. ($2.80) Depression Cake. (.35)($3.15)(8 servings=.39/serving)

Looks great - I never tried Gumbo before. hmmm

I'm always amazed that you are able to figure the totals for each meal. I don't think I could keep track of all that... but wait, yeah, I know, you are a numbers gal. :) Have a great week!

Your menu sounds really good this week. I have always wanted to make Shepard's Pie, I just don't know how. I need to find me a good recipe. That Lasagna Soup sounds really good too. I think I will try that one next week.
