I don’t cook every night like I used to when we had kids at home, but I remember how much it helped when I planned ahead. This definitely works!

I’ve got to get into menu planning. What a fabuluos idea. I, too, waste SO MUCH MONEY on food that eventualy goes spoiled. And I hate being in the market every single day buying food. We need to get a better system down. I’m going to do this – I think it’s going to save us money, time and alot of energy running around!!
Thanks so much!!
And I love your blog.. it’s great!!

You are right on with menu planning! It has become a HUGE time/money saver for our family. We do our shopping with each paycheck and it REALLY helps to not only have a list, but a PLAN. I am a person who THRIVES on organization and planning and this has truly saved me! Do you post on ‘Menu Plan Monday’ over at I’m an Organizing Junkie(http://orgjunkie.blogspot.com)? If not, you should try it out, it WORKS FOR ME!

I use Six O’Clock Scramble and love it! Most of the recipes are great, and I love the grocery list… I’ll have to look at the others also – thanks.

My wife and I started meal planning about a month ago. We recently just had our third child and the time it takes to cook dinner nightly is just too much with 3 kids. So now what we do is cook 14 nights worth of meals on either a Saturday or Sunday and store them in our deep freeze in the basement.
It was taking my wife about 6 hours to cook all 14 meals, but this last time around we cooked together and knocked it down to 4 hours! I figure that we have gained 10 hours of time back to spend with the kids by doing this. We have also cut our grocery bill dramatically.
I highly recommend meal planning!

I wish I had the freezer space for that. Saving dinner has a plan with freezer meals too, but I would have to buy an extra freezer which would defeat the saving money purchase. Great tip for those who have space though

I agree, meal planning makes life so much easier and saves so much money on the grocery bill.

Shopping without the kids IS one of life’s greatest pleasures!!!

Planning the menu has helped me as well. I plan our meals out each week around the sales papers and then only buy what I need. This is a great way to save money and organize your life. Thanks for sharing!:)
