We made it! Frugal meal planning meal plan 12 is finally here. We made it through 3 months of frugal meal planning and still managed to eat quite well. I was hoping to have more new recipes to share but life kind of got in the way and we fell back on some older favorites while adding a few new ones.
Next week we will be starting our new series on quick and easy meals. I will be doing this meal plan with just dinner meals but may throw in some breakfasts or lunches here and there. I will also be throwing in tips for how you can make your easy meal planning a smashing success by always being prepared for that crazy whirlwind morning or unplanned evening. This one will be a mix of old favorites and newly inspired dishes. We are also going to be using that crock pot so pull it out and dust it off this week. We’re going to be cooking quick and easy.
But now for our final frugal meal plan. I do hate endings but they are always good if they are happy and I would like to think this is the happiest kind of ending. After all, I just made a meal plan every week for 12 weeks straight. I think that’s a record.
