Some of my recent posts at Money Crashers: "You have five minutes before you need to head out the door to make it to work on time, and you haven’t eaten anything for breakfast.

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.

We include breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks in our planning. We usually plan for one night to be ‘clean out the fridge’ night and we allow for 3 dinners out. Most of our breakfasts and lunches are eaten in and we keep it simple with cereal and eggs for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch. Thanks for reading.
