Does anyone in your family get bored with the same meals each week? Seems like I’m always adjusting my menu as my kids (and myself!) get bored with the same meals.
No, not really. Actually, when I try and make different meals, my kids often times don’t want to eat them. They like the consistency and routine for some reason (Breakfast for dinner on Sunday, Tacos on Tuesday, Pizza on Friday, etc). I’m sure as they get into teenage years that might change but for now this is working for us. 🙂 – Gretchen, MSM Team
I’ve noticed a lot of things have gone up at Aldi ☹️, I go also to Walmart and the Kroger last… getting harder to keep in budget.
YES, every time I go it seems like prices keep getting higher. At least eggs were lower this week than they were a few weeks ago. HA! – Gretchen, MSM Team
