I actually made a 5 week meal plan list of my family’s favorite meals so that I don’t have to think up a bunch of meals I want to cook, I just rotate through them. I look at the calendar, and write down the groceries I need for the next week (or two if I can get my milk to last that long). Then I’m good to go for a week or two.
Here are some of the positives to doing this:
- Only having to go to the store once a week, or less. Saves time and gas
- When you go to the store you always buy a few things that aren’t on the list (less chances of doing that)
- There are way fewer times when you decide to grab some fast food because you didn’t have anything to make, or the time to make it.
- You always have what you need, when you need it.
- You’re usually eating healthier that way – not macaroni and hot dogs again.
- You’re husband doesn’t say, “Spaghetti? Isn’t this the second or third time this week?” Happened to me. True story.
( and he was probably right) - You can still eat out every once in a while, but it’s planned, and in your budget.
