Family Balance Sheet

MARCH 2, 2011

The weeks that I take the time to plan the menu are the weeks that I have control over our spending.

Menu planning saves me time.

If I don’t plan our meals and my shopping list, I spend too much money and make too many extra stops to the grocery store during the week. Over the holidays, I wasn’t as diligent with my meal planning and our grocery bill went over what I budget for food. Get the family involved. Ask your family for suggestions.
