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. 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.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. And I promise you that I do feed them–lol!

Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. For lunch, we usually pack a cooler with food each day that we are at the beach and eat out somewhere for lunch on the one day when we need a sun-break. Create A Budget. Thanks for reading.

Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. If you are traveling with other families, splitting the menu planning will save you money and also give you a night off when it is someone else's turn in the kitchen. Yeah, for nights off!

I use them regularly when we eat out at restaurants, and I will not shop at a department store without one, but grocery coupons are completely different for me. If you plan for your grocery trip, you should be able to stay on track. When I don’t plan, I am sure to blow our budget. Yeah, that is not me.
