Monday's Weekly Menu #1

Now, just to let you know I usually do all my grocery shopping at the "Big W" (Walmart).  
It isn't because I LOVE to shop there; it's because I LOVE to save my family money.  I also LOVE to see them have to give me money.  
You see I do the ad shopping Price Matching Game.  It works and it is SO EASY!  
1. You just look at your menu and go through the ads to see who has the best prices on the items you have on your list.  
2. Put a * beside an item that has the best price. 
3. Then I write beside the item who has the best price and for how much.
This way when you get to the check out you don't have to remember who and where and how much it was. 
4. Oh another thing I do is put all the price match stuff together in my basket and also I put it last on to the conveyor belt.
Have your ads in hand as you tell them the prices that you have written down on your list. They have NEVER asked to see it in the ad but you want to have them just to back yourself up!
Oh and I also put a big RED circle around the item in the ads so it's easy to find just in case!

Now I'm going to do a full menu because to me when I'm looking for a menu it's for all 3 meals not just dinner. So here we go!
