It’s another busy week here in the Queendom. I’m working away on book edits and endorsements while building a new website just for Slaying the Debt Dragon. I can’t wait for you to see it. It will be useful and have all of the updates on the book in one place. In the mean time, check out the Buy the Book tab on the menu for all of the places you can score a deal on the book. It changes regularly on who has ht best price. 🙂
We’re also preparing for a little road trip so I’m list making and detail listing to make sure that we don’t forget anything. At the same time, it’s important to make a meal plan so that I’m not lost in the shuffle of all there is to be done.
If I don’t have a plan at all, I know I’ll fail when it comes to best using our resources, money, and time. 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.

Dinner Out 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?
