Meal Planning

I know, I know- it’s been FOVEREVER since I’ve posted anything about our meals. There seemed to be too many other things to write about, but we all know that’s an excuse. Recently, I’ve been mentally making a list that I go off, but it is WAY easier to blog about it and check it off as each evening arrives.

I just left a friend’s house who wants to, like everyone else, cut the costs at the grocery check -out line. She is like most people and has $200 for 2 weeks. I can save her a $100 for sure. It’s hard though because most of it is pre-planning and making things from scratch and freezing it. And if you’re not used to it, it could seem tedious. Bu, trust me- it’s way worth it when you spend a hundred bucks for 2 weeks for 2 1/2 people. And many of you might be wondering what the heck do we eat?! We eat healthy actually and get organic fruits and vegetables delivered TO OUR HOUSE once every two weeks. Check them out here. That gives me roughly $60 for dry groceries, including meat too. Interested? Comment and let me know who you are- I’ve done meal consulting to many a frantic wife/mother.

Here is my list for the up coming 2 weeks. I stretched our meals an extra week so I get to go grocery shopping twice in 2 weeks! I’m almost giddy! :) (my life is sad I know, but I already know it. Probably no hope too)
