Meal Planning

I'm telling you, Meal planning is the way to go. We save so much a month meal planning by not wasting food nor buying food that's more expensive or unhealthy, than if we would have planned out cheaper and healthier meals.

Here are my basic tips...
1. Write down a dinner menu(& lunch options) for a least a week or two
2. Post the menu on your fridge so you don't forget
3. Try to pick some meals with a few same ingredients to buy less
4. Shop the ads to see what's on sale and in season before making menu
5. Make a list of meal ideas that you can use when your out of ideas
6. Don't try to buy 2 weeks of produc2 at once,it goes bad
7. Make meal planning a habit starting one week at a time
