Why should I plan my meals?
If you haven’t tried planning your meals ahead of time, this will be a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by meal planning:
- Time savings: No more panicking at 4:00 pm for dinner. With a menu plan, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
- Saving money: Meal planning does wonders for your wallet. When you organize your shopping list for the week, you’ll easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. It’s a smart approach that keeps more money in your pocket.
- Goodbye takeaway: When your dinners are planned in advance and food is stocked, you are less likely to go to the drive-thru. Since you cook at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Everyone wins!
Side dishes for dinner
My weekly meal plans always include a printable shopping list, measured and ready to go. Makes things so easy!
Storing leftovers for meal planning
I only meal plan Monday through Friday because sometimes we have plans for the weekend or I have leftovers we can have to finish the week! If you have leftovers, be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
