It’s the second week of Watch Me Wednesdays where I’m talking about menu planning. I planned a menu for about $35 and will be shopping at Sunflower Farmers Market and KingSooper. Be sure to check out the weekly match ups for both KingSooper and Sunflower to get all of the prices of the items I mention. Enjoy!
How many of you menu plan? Do you do it based on the sales? Do any of you involve the kids and let them help decide or even help make the meal they choose?
I posted the lists included in the video in the comments below. Hope that helps if you want to use the menu plan!

Questions I ask before making the menu plan:
~What’s on sale?
~What do I have on hand in my fridge/freezer/pantry?
~What new recipes do I want to try this week?
~What do we have going on this week? What nights do I need easy to make meals?
