I plan my menu on Sunday afternoons when I have the new week’s grocery flyer in front of me. I try to keep my large weekly grocery shopping to one store unless there are some loss-leaders elsewhere. Plan your menu around what is on sale at the grocery store that week. Thanks for reading. Plan for all seven days.
