Well, our foods are different from yours. Since I have to plan for a frugal dinner then I would say, I will try to prepare for veggies and steamed fishes every night, Monday to Friday. That would be enough for us. My husband and I don't eat a lot at night, we just eat soup and steamed fish because he has a digestive problem and I need to lose some weight.

I don't plan my meals that far in advance, but I often do french fries as a frugal dinner. My other ones are pasta dishes such as spaghetti, rice with a few stir fried veggies that I can afford, and potatoes are always a good choice when you're on a budget.
Homemade pizza usually ends up being out of my price range, but when I have more money (and mostly time) I love making pizza.

I have not really made a weekly dinner plan for the week. I did go shopping last night and got a bunch of groceries, so I have an idea of what I can make for the week. Tonight I am most likely going to make a pot pie with some leftover pork roast that I put in the freezer last week. I have ground beef(broke down into 3 -1 pound servings, tenderized pork cutlets(wrapped individually and frozen when I got home), chicken tenders(5 pound bag for $4.95, can't beat that. I got 2. We are talking a LOT of meals there.), frozen lasagna(on sale for $3), frozen salisbury steak(on sale for $2.50). We are set on main dishes, I just have to figure out side dishes.

I have been using a good plan of action for the past week or so,I go to the discount store and I look for what is reduced,then there is usually a good few things with at least thirty percent off,I choose from those,then I get the rest of the meal to fit in,this paln seems to be working pretty well for me,and the savings are very good.
