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.

Are you spending more at the grocery store lately? As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. Thaw as needed.

The next time you make your menu plan and grocery list, instead of glancing through the sales circulars for ideas, challenge yourself to see what's lurking in your freezer and pantry. I also realized that I have plenty of food to get us through the week without a major trip to the store. become a fan and 'like' FBS on Facebook.

As my kids have grown into a teen and tween who eat as much as adults, I spend about $700/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control.
