I cut up all the ingredents and put it on the table. It was fun activity and everyone ended up with a pizza they liked!

I've really been slacking lately and need to get back in the habit. Thanks for the reminder. This is the second post I’ve read about menu planning.

I am running low on groceries. But I didn't want to waste the gas b/c we have a subr. Or the $$ on prepared food. It is to easy. We use the clothes line & cold water. Make a lot of things from scratch. Planted a garden. Raising our own chickens for the freezer. Just to name a few. I was tempted to go into town (3M) & buy pizza or subway.

Pizza Hut is similar, with buy one and get each addt'l at $5 each. No limit. A little late now, but Dominos has a deal where you buy one pizza and each pizza after that is $4.

I sure do better about not eating at McD's when I stock up on "easy" lunch menu items like sandwich meat, precooked pasta and precooked/frozen meat. We are trying to be more purposeful about making enough to have leftovers. That is saving us a ton of money as my husband takes leftovers to work now most often; and we also use leftovers for lunch once or twice a week!

Many people are willing to pay for convenience these days. When we were a double income family it was no big deal. Now, every penny has to be accounted for! This is so true.
