Menu Plan Jan 5, 2013:

WELCOME TO MENU PLAN MONDAY!

 Frugal Chat:

Last week, I made a huge pot of beans on Sunday night. We ate some from of beans everyday until they were gone.

This week, I will be going once-a-month-shopping and be picking up all the frugal veggies. (Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions.)
