As you all know, I typically do my grocery shopping on Thursdays, therefore, that is also the day that I plan my weekly menu. You'll see my grocery photo and breakdown soon.) For my menu planning, I start by scouring my freezer, fridge, and pantry to see what I have on-hand already. but I know we ate!

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.

I didn’t really grocery shop this week because…busy. Thursday I made a Dinnerly meal, which was sort of a deconstructed stuffed shells dish with spinach. Friday I have two more Dinnerly meal sets of ingredients here so perhaps I will make one of those. Busy, busy, busy. $14 And some cut-up apples.

I have been one of those people who says they need to start meal planning and never does it. Why, I think it’s because I never knew where to start and even know how to put the menu all together and gather up what’s needed and do the calculations. Easy & Budget Friendly Meal Planning.
