I full well realize that it’s not Monday. However, the holiday threw me off just a wee bit but we still maintained a good meal plan kept on track during the long weekend. Now, I’m back full force, up to my ears in end of the year activities. 5th Grade Honor Banquet, Field Day, 5th Grade Final Fling, Birthday Treats for summer birthdays, Graduation Open Houses, and more! I’m praying to keep my wits about me and the laundry done. I’m swinging day-to-day with a to do list a mile long; however, I am absolutely dependent upon my meal plan. I always used to think I didn’t have enough time to plan and organize but now I feel like I don’t have enough time NOT to 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!}
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?
