The kiddos start back at school tomorrow, so I’m hoping to get back on a normal schedule.  I added a shopping list to the bottom of what I need to make this weeks meals.  Everything else I have in my stockpile.  I’m hoping this helps show how purchasing what’s on sale can make meal planning easier and save money.

Lasagna with bread from bread machine & salad

Turkey Pita bread sandwiches with soup
