I ran out to the store on Saturday as part of my errand running and again on Sunday, since the kids wanted donuts. On Saturday, the crowds were horrible, so I picked up only a few deals and things that I new I needed for this week. But, when I went back on Sunday and the store was less crazy, I took a little time and picked up some meat. The store was having a BOGO sale on value pack meat and I was able to get pork chops for 6 meals for under $12 and ground meat for 8 meals for about $15. Big spends, but not on a per meal basis. I also stocked up on some frozen bread sticks with pizza sauce for dipping (12 ct per pack). They were on sale for $1.99 and they had peelies on them for $.55 that when they doubled made them $.89 each.
At our house, the focus is on dinners. I tend to only list the main course and any standard side we have with it. We do still have vegetables and/or fruit with each of our dinners, I just don't always call them out.

I have to do a menu plan. I have no clue why I don't! When you make the plan do you pic the meals then buy the stuff or just use what you have or...?
Eli's Lids -
I do a bit of both. In part, I choose things we haven't had in a while and then I back fill with things that I have on hand. This way, I use up my stockpile and I can keep variety in the meals.
