2015 $50 Budget Menu Plan Week 18: This weeks menu plan is a meat restocking week! Nothing is more frustrating than reaching into the freezer to realize that the mouthwatering chicken recipe you were about to make.. isn’t going to happen. Now, I can almost hear you saying, “But Wait, Isn’t that why you menu plan to begin with?”
