    Some weeks I am really good about meal planning. Others…. not so much. The weeks that I do have meals planned out there is virtually no food wasting. When I do meal plan, I look through the circulars and try to pull recipes out of my head from what I see (The pictures help lol!) If my brain is really just not working, I’ll flip to the index of a couple of cookbooks and search them with what is on sale. I’ll usually do this the same time I am planning out my coupons, so it is all done at once. This is usually on Sunday evenings when I can get my husband to take care of the baby 😉 The other week (not a week I planned out) I had to throw out way more food than we have had to in a while, and I felt like I needed to do some Hail Marys or something… so I think I am going to be more persistent about meal planning. Thanks for the reminder Kelly.

    I absolutely meal plan! There are two main reasons. Eating Healthy and Saving Money.
    If we do not meal plan we end up eating out and excusing it.
    This is also saves so much money at the grocery store and prevents us from un necessary snacking.

    Thank you so much for this! I just downloaded your template and I love it! Do you have any meal plans you can share? Meal planning has been a lot harder for me since having our first baby a year ago, but seems more important than ever, especially since she is sharing meals with us now.

    Right now, it’s just my husband and I but I’ve been trying to plan my meals each week and it definitely helps me be less stressed out when I get home from work. I know what I’m making, have all the ingredients I need and have things defrosted. I love that I don’t have to come up with something on the fly and since we usually have leftovers we already have our lunches for the next day. I love having a plan!
