Menu Plan Week of 3/16

There are a couple dishes here I moved from last week, like the Sunday chicken---weather is so nice here, we decided to pull some spareribs out of the deep freeze instead. Menu works out to about $25 for 7 dinners. I'll be using my home canned spaghetti sauce, which helps on cost, and also several items I got on deep discount or with coupons. Couponing has made a huge difference in our budget. I'd been cost conscious, but adding coupons has just taken it to a new level.
