Its Monday, which means that it is grocery shopping day in our house. I have found that when I sit down and make a full meal plan BEFORE I make my grocery list, I spend less money, both at the grocery store and for eating out throughout the week. How is this? Because I decide what recipes Ill be using and then make my list directly from there. By the time I get to the store, I know exactly what will be in my cart for all of our meals and snacks for the week. I very seldom allow for an impulse buy. Then, because I have already spent the time writing out the weekly menu, I know whats for dinner every day. This helps me stay on track with my eating throughout the week and it helps me make certain that what I plan to feed my family is balanced and healthy. Do you plan your meals ahead? Whats your strategy for staying within budget and eating well?
