Don’t pass out. I’m actually posting our weekly meal plan. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel for the writing process. The introduction through Chapter 8 have all had at least two rounds of redlines and Chapter 9 had its first round on Friday. We still have the back matter and some side bar information to clear through but hopefully that means you’ll see me on this corner of the web more often in the coming days. I have missed you friends! And I have so many great stories to tell and money saving tips to share. I feel like I’ve learned so much more through the editing process that I’m busting at the seams with creativity.
But before the creativity flows, I have to get the necessary out of the way. Doing rote tasks like prepping lunch box portions for the week, keeping the sink empty (or close) and meal planning frees up so much of my time to pursue those things I love. So here’s our plan for meals this week.
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? 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!
