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.

If pork tenderloins are on sale, my menu will include Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Tenderloin and I’ll use the leftovers on another night for tacos. When your kitchen is organized, you avoid buying duplicates and it is easier to cross reference what is on sale, the ingredients needed for recipes, and what you have on hand.

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! Use Pinterest.
