Hey everyone or anyone who reads this. I am a freak for organization, trying to keep this clean, saving money, and many more. So for the past 2 months now I have been making a weekly meal plan. I try to stick to this as best as possible and have found several plus sides. First I save money because I am not randomly purchasing ingredients that I don't know what to do with and not running to the store to get extra item that I didn't get the first time. Second, the convenience of knowing every night when I get home of what to make instead of opening the fridge and thinking "What to make? There is no food in here, let's just go out". that is what happened with our family. Last, we cut out most of the junk. My kids are eating healthy home cooked meals every night. Love it!
I have had several friends of mine on Facebook have asked me what and how I do it? Simple enough. It takes me about 10 minutes to look up recipes and get my grocery list together. I tend to try to get recipes that I can buy in season or meat in bulk. We also have decided to do meatless Monday's to help with cost and it's good for us. My family is a meat family though so its hard. Lol! Once I get my recipes and grocery list together I go to the store and pick up most of the items but leave the produce to get through out the week. I prefer fresh produce.
If you have 10 minutes that you can spare a week, try it. See what you think.
