Does anyone do meal planning?
I do lunch and dinner for a month. My kids usually just eat eggs, toast, or cereal for breakfast.

I suck at food planning. I've tried one website, mealime.com, but I wasn't able to keep up with it. I'm going to try creating two weeks worth on my own and just alternate between week 1 and week 2, but I actually need to sit down and do it yet.

I wish you luck. I found by doing a menu that I saved money by buying in bulk.Traci_Momof2 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:33 pm I suck at food planning.

Yes I do. I plan a week in arrears. And I plan for leftover night and breakfast night.
It really reduces my grocery bill by a lot.

I do it to a point. I've tried it many times but always end up messing it up because of cravings for different stuff that day.
Right now, our meal plan is as follows:
Mexican Monday
Taco Tuesday
Whatever Wednesday
Turkey/chicken Thursday
f**k it Friday
Sandwich Saturday
Suck it Sunday.

I do the leftover dinner day. It really helps on Friday's when I want to be lazy.Dylexsmommy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:41 pm Yes I do. I plan a week in arrears. And I plan for leftover night and breakfast night.

This week, since I'm technically on vacation I did a fend for yourself night too. And I set it up so I cook every other night.madfoodie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:45 pmI do the leftover dinner day.

It really helps out.
I'm saving a ridiculous amount of money.
