It’s a beautiful October day, Lords & Ladies! Life is finally slowing down just a bit for the Royal Family. After a couple of months of being on the go non-stop, we finally have a few evenings this week where we don’t have anything at all. I’m reveling in it because of course as is the case with every season in life, it’s certain to be short-lived. If you didn’t hear the good news already, my book proposal made the Top 5 for the Re:Write Conference. I’m busy finalizing travel plans to Austin and attempting to channel my excited nerves into productivity. Today that productivity takes the shape of our Monday Meal Plan!
If I don’t have a plan, I know I’ll fail when it comes to best using our resources, money, and time without a meal plan. I don’t always follow our meal plan to a T but there’s a relief in knowing that we have all of the items to make meals all week long that we need. That way, we use the groceries we have and stay out of the drive thru (obviously saving money!). Regular meal planning was one of the many keys to us paying off $127K in 4 years. Simply paying attention made huge waves in our finances. Did you catch my segment on WTHR a couple of weeks ago? It focused on tips & tricks for meal planning. Check those out for some of my best tips!
Don’t forget I have a newly designed Meal Planner to help you in your meal planning and grocery list endeavors. And you can always find it (along with other great resources) on the FREE Printables Tab on Queen of Free.

Planning meals was definitely one of the biggest keys for success in our paying off over $127K in debt. Often I swap days or side items to make our menu plan work but the main purpose is to make sure I have everything on hand I need for meals throughout the entire week. The less you go to the store, the more money you save!
