Frugal Menus: An Alison Example

There seems to be a significant issue in menu-planning, so to expand on this I'd like to share with you all an example of a one week menu (scroll down). Now, I'm only including three main meals--of course, there are little additions, such as snacks (homemade goodies, fruits, etc.). Please feel free to ask questions, and since this is a work in progress for me, I welcome all constructive criticism!

1. Cereal, fruit, and coffee
2. Cheese/onion/lettuce sandwich, chips, and juice
3. Pasta w/tomato sauce, spinach, and milk
