Meal planning
This year I’ve started weekly meal planning in order to reduce grocery cost and to avoid eating out so much. Meal planning is basically just writing out a list of 7 meals (I’m only doing dinner) at the start of the week then going grocery shopping only for the items necessary to make those meals. Usually once a week we will have leftovers in order to save me the hassle of cooking and to use any remaining food. I will list my weekly menus here for anyone that needs ideas and for me to keep track of what meals we’ve had recently.
