The Sunday Sampler!

As a college student, I definately know what it means to be completely broke at times! In order to try to save a little money and try to budget better I have initiated operation "Money Saving March!" This month I plan to try and save money in all areas of my life to the best of my ability! You can also check out my "College Girls Love Free Stuff" tab for additional deals and coupons I come across. Food seems to be one of the areas I tend to spend the most money at times, so I have decided to begin a weekly dinner menu post. I am going to plan a weekly dinner menu every Friday for the upcoming week. These dinner ideas will be simple and healthy for any on the go college chick! I have posted my first dinner menu for the week of 3/5-3/9. I am just going to create a menu for Monday thru Friday...on the weekends you can go home and eat mama's food!
