The weeks that I take the time to plan the menu are the weeks that I have control over our spending. The weeks were I don’t menu plan are the weeks that I’m at the grocery store multiple times or we get take out multiple times, leading to an out of control grocery spending. Menu planning saves me time.

Plan for All Seven Days. I’ve been lazy in the past and just planned for the work week and ignored the fact that we do need to eat on the weekends. But that one week where I don’t menu plan or do a shoddy job on it, is the week that I’ll blow my budget. Do you plan your meals?
