I tried something new this week and used Clicklist for the first time! I didn’t order much because I wasn’t sure how I would like it. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was and happy that they took my coupons without any problem. Although I missed the store “experience” and the opportunity to look for marked down items, I will definitely be using Clicklist again! It was nice to not have to get my kids out of the car and keep an eye on them while shopping. 😉

(Am I the only one who serves cereal and milk for dinner when my hubby is gone? 😉 ) I went ahead and moved those meals to this week’s menu since I still had the ingredients for them.
Chicken Noodle Casserole, Steamed Broccoli, Sliced Pineapple
Ham Hashbrown Casserole, Eggs
Southwest Roll-ups, Chips and Salsa

No, you’re not the only one who serves cereal when the hubby is gone! ;o) Truth be told, my husband loves cereal, and from time to time, we all have cereal for dinner.
