Menu-Planning

I'm very much a fly by the seat of my pants type of person, the problem is that I don't function well like that. I need structure, I need those definites in my life or I basically spiral out of control. The past few months I haven't been doing as much as I should in the house and just kind of getting by. Making one meal during the week then just having leftovers or just getting by with super quick easy things like eggs. Mama K had given me a menu planner that worked well in Vegan Month '07 that I use here and there that really helps me (she found it at the dollar store). I broke that bad boy out this week and used it in conjunction with the sales at the store and got us a menu plan. By the way I carved $20 off my grocery budget this week, thats a huge percentage of my budget so I'm impressed!! I'm totally loving this coupon thing, who knew!?! I've been really working at sticking to the meal plan and have found that it has also helped me to keep up with the housework (I can't cook in a messy kitchen then you can't eat dinner on a messy table, etc).
