My mom used to do this when I was a kid and I was always amazed that she could plan meals for the month and grocery shop ( minus perishables) once. I started doing this when I had my kids and was on a very tight budget. Now that we are in the teenage years and no one is ever home, I print out the calendar for each month and plan directly on that. Who wants to plan an waste time preping a meal and no one is home to eat it. Using these tools is a great way to start.

Micah,

Oh boy that is a challenge! There are a lot of freezer meal plans out there! I’d love to put one together but right now we have a tiny freezer that we barely have room for the essentials none the less a bunch of freezer meals. 🙁

Thank you so much for this. I have been trying so hard to plan meals for my family that are healthy, quick, and give a lot of variety (hello picky toddler and hubs) but it has been very challenging and time consuming because I find that I’m spending all my free time trying to prep everything. Meal planning has been overwhelming so far. This method actually sounds doable and helpful. Thank you SO much!

In reply to Lindsey. Thanks, Lindsey! You are exactly right! Always check to see what you have on hand first. Buying duplicate items wastes time and money.
