Menu planning on a budget

Planning the next two weeks' worth of menus. The only things I need to purchase: rolls and the right kind of beef for stew next week. Not too bad!

Monday  Chicken, potatoes, green beans (an okay meal, but the potatoes could have used more time!
Tuesday  Steak, pasta, garlic bread
Wednesday  Ham steak, vegetables, rice
Thursday  Pesto pasta
Friday  Chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes, broccoli
Saturday  Tilapia, rice, Brussels sprouts
Sunday  NJRF Rehearsal day – Chicken-corn chili for lunch; Dinner at Bung’s Tavern
Monday  Pork chops, couscous, asparagus
Tuesday  Black bean chicken and salsa
Wednesday  Spaghetti
Thursday Sloppy joes
Friday  Sausage biscuits and gravy
Saturday Beef stew, rolls
Sunday NJRF Rehearsal day - Leftover beef stew and rolls for lunch; Dinner at Bung's Tavern

There is little to purchase for this menu - not a bad deal right now. I need to stock the freezer well over the next month or so, but that will take time as well as money. With my roommate's change in employment, things are going to be extremely tight around here for a bit, so I want to make sure things are stocked and taken care of.

Hooray for upright freezers!
