Let’s just say the fact that I’m posting our weekly meal plan on a Tuesday as a opposed to a Monday *might* indicate the type of week we’re up against here in the Queendom. Seriously, Preschool closing program, Middle School Orientation, Teacher gifs, the fact that I have to make a 100 Day T-shirt tonight {and pick up the Princess Eldest from a Bowling party after school, a field trip, and oh yeah, the King of Free’s Birthday. My head *just* might spin off my head {like in 2 seconds because typing that made me hyperventilate}. Even more so, I need to have a plan for our meals {even if I fail at posting it on time}. 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!}
Don’t forget I have a newly designed Meal Planner to help you in your meal planning and grocery list endeavors.

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!
What are you having on your Royal Table this week?
We had taco night too! Love taco night. Meal planning is time consuming but your planner seems like it would be very helpful for me. Tonight we are having brinner – my fav!
