FOX 4 Cost Cutters: Meal Plan for the Week

You can save a ton of money on your grocery bill if you’ll make one little change.  Build a meal plan for your family around what’s on sale each week.  Here is mine — starting with the sales on 2/16.  It is based around what i’m buying this week and what I have in the pantry and freezers.  This week isn’t anything spectacular … but it will get us fed next week!
