I have tried menu planning in the past with mixed success. This week, I'm trying to stretch what I have in the pantry to feed everyone until payday. I will note the things that I need to get from the store. We've got 4 homeschooled kids home all day, I'm off 2 days at the beginning of the week and hubby is off 2 days midweek. Payday is Friday.
