Coming up with meals one day at a time can mean multiple grocery trips during the week. Consider meal planning in order to save time, money and effort.
BENEFITS OF MEAL PLANNING
Each week I plan my meals for the following week. This is called meal or menu planning. It really is a simple task that takes 5-10 minutes. The money and time this saves me throughout my week makes it well worth the effort.
- Saves time
- Saves money
- Eliminates waste
- Create healthy meal plans
- Lower your frustrations
- Reuse meal plans
