This Monday has been ALL go! It’s trash day which means a couple of extra trips up and down the drive way {sounds like I’m whining but it is pretty long}, we’ve had gymnastics, a trip to Meijer and past the King’s office, lunch with the Queen Mum, AND there’s still guitar lessons, a speaking engagement at Greenwood Public Library {you should come!}, and ZUMBA tonight. Luckily, dinner is already in the crockpot and I’m still planning what we’re eating the rest of the 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!}
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!
