    I really liked what I looked at without joining, but I don't have an extra 7.95 a month to join.:( But thanks for sharing.

    The one for frugal moms is only 5 a month. I thought about that because I don't have the extra money either...not at all. I am single mom with no job going to college. But, I save sooooo much money using the frugal mom menu that it more than pays for the 5 dollars. Just an idea. I know everyone has their own way of saving money. Be Blessed, Dawn

    Thanks Dawn. That is the one I would join and didn't know it was only $5.00. Can you give me an idea of what kind of food is on the menus?

    I was looking through the archived years and I noticed a lot of recipes were repeated year after year. I was able to find several recipes through the archives without joining.

    Didn't know you could look up recipes without joining. That is cool. I still gonna stay a member though because I just don't like to plan. I love love love having something just tell me what to make for dinner....LOL. Monday was CHicken Pot Pie and Sliced Oranges. Tuesday was Swedish Meatballs and Green Beans. Wednesday was Homemade Pizza and Green Salad. Thursday was Tuna Pasta Salad and Fruit Cocktail. Friday is Adobe Pork, Rice, and Pineapple. We always eat at church on Monday nights and again on Wednesday nights so I use the menus for Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays instead of Monday through Friday like it says. It works for me and I don't have to think about what I need to cook. I love the flylady website also and I have my control journal from that website. I print out the menus and recipes and put them right in my control journal each week. I feel more organized and stress free than I have in years! If I had known that being so organized would be so awesome I would have done it a long time ago...LOL. Be blessed, Dawn

    Looks neat, although I don't think it would serve its purpose for me. I have 3 boys, so when something say 'yields 6', for us it normally yields 3! lol Our groceries are pretty low though for having 3 boys to cook for, so I can't complain. I do what I can to save money, but looking at the amount of ingredients she puts in...I would have to double a lot of her recipes. :( 8 ounces of pasta will not feed my hungry boys. lol

    I use this one and it's free. You can customize with your own recipes or use the recipes offered. I really like it so far. You can even print your grocery list. I've only used it for this month, but it has made things so much easier. Menu planning is not a strength for me.

    I'm not allowed to post links yet, but google monthlymenuplanner

    Hope that wasn't against the rules. Still getting used to this forum.
