Menu Board for Make It For Monday

Meal planning has become a weekly task to help curb over spending for meals. I usually post my weekly menu plan here on my blog but I wanted a Menu chalkboard to let hubby and kiddo {and remind me} know what's for supper.

I looked through catalogs, checked prices at big department stores and found several I liked but nothing exactly what I wanted. I wanted something narrow and long with the days of the week on it.


I found these refrigerator chalkboard menus on etsy but they were sold out. :(


I really liked this one from the Nautical Decor Store, but still not exactly what I wanted. Price tag $42


My Pottery Barn catalog showed this one for $99-$149. OUCH!




So I decided to make one for myself.

I found this at a thrift store on 1/2 price day. It was marked $1.91



I bought me a can of chalkboard paint for $8. Used some of my STAX scrapbook letters and this is what I made:



I also picked up that little duck for a buck. Isnt he cute?

So with today being Menu Plan Monday and Make it For Monday I give you my menu plan for this week on my new Menu chalkboard made by yours truly for less than $10. {and I still have chalkboard paint left over!}
