    Brandess started the Budget Dinner of the Day threads and I'm continuing them. I hate to see them just travel down the forum and get lost forever, so I thought I'd start an archive to keep them in. The most recent is on top. Just click on the date to be taken to that day's dinner thread. icon_wink.gif The recipes from this series are also contained in the Budget Dinner of the Day Archive cookbook.

    If I find other budget-conscious threads that I feel are appropriate, I'll put them in one of the following posts.

    This is fantastic!!! I wonder if it would be better if I post them in the same thread for a 5 day week period instead of 1 day? Each week would contain recipes for M-F of that week.

    What do you think, UC86?

    Example:

    Budget Dinners Archive
    Week of 07/07/08
    Week of 07/14/08
    Week of 07/21/08
    Week of 07/28/08

    I don't know...I like the day-by-day ones. But I can see the benefit of doing a weekly one. What about both? Basically, the weekly one would be budget menu-planning, and the daily one could be the reminder?

    Just a thought. Either way, I like it...that's why I started the archive. Hated to see all that wonderful work go to waste. icon_wink.gif
