Healthy Budget-Friendly Weekly Menu

So I am making a conscious effort to spend less money in 2012. I realized that a lot of the big line items on my bank statement were food because either I wasn't planning meals and buying tons of random shit or I was just buying way too expensive items at Whole Foods.  This is my first shot at planning for the week so let me know what you think!

A few tips if you're in the same boat:
- Only buy specialty items at more expensive stores. Example: You can't find Manuka honey at Publix.
- Write down your daily menus and only buy from that.  Example: Last week I almost got $5 worth of diet cranberry juice with fizz because it was new. Really necessary? Nope.
