Weekly Menu, May 2-9

Last month, I ran out of my grocery budget 2 1/2 weeks into the month. Since Mike only gets paid the last day of each month, that made for a definite mustard month. This month, I am determined for that NOT to happen again!

So, I am going to divide my money into 4 grocery envelopes, one per week, versus one for the entire month. Then, I will NOT pull out the next envelope until said time.

Another change I am going to make is to start planning our breakfasts and lunches...I really, really think that will help!!

Oh Lord, please give me discipline in this! Help me to be a better planner and steward of the money You have given us!!
