My grocery bill is definitely lower when I plan a menu. I did really well with this for several months and then the Holidays hit and I had a hard time getting back in the swing of things. Here is what I have planned for this week.
Monday: BBQ Chicken, Grean Beans, Salad, Rice (This was not used the week before)
Tuesday: Leftover\Sandwich Night. We have a busy night of activities so everyone will grab a bite when they can.
Wednesday: Chicken Cordon Blue Casserole ( Using leftover ham from Sunday), Veggie, Salad,
Thursday: Barbecue Beef Cups - (These are so simple and the kids love them) , Salad
Friday: Fish, Veggie, Rice.
Saturday: Eat Out
Sunday: ??

I really like how Melissa does menu planning for a month. I am not sure I can get up to that but I am working towards menu planning for two weeks. Baseball season starts for us in April and that is a very busy time for us as we have games during the week and on Saturdays and Sundays. My weekly food budget comes out of my husband's weekly paycheck so that will be a change for me to plan out two weeks.
I hear ya! I only grocery shop when hubby gets paid, which is twice a month. The last week is always kind of lean on ideas ;)
