Save Time & Money by Meal Planning

 Do you have a hard time trying to figure out what to cook for dinner each night? 

  

                                        Does taking a trip to the grocery store overwhelm you?

Do you want to save time & money?

  I used to jump in my car and head to the grocery store and shop for 2 weeks at a time. I never had a list, coupons, or a budget. I just bought what stood out and what I thought we needed. By the way, I also never looked in the refrigerator or cabinets to see what we already had. Can you imagine? 

  I over bought and over spent every time! I finally got to a point where I knew something had to change. 

  That is when I decided to look into ways that would help me save Time, Energy, and Money. 

These are some things I do now and have really helped:

Set a Budget: Decide how much money you want to spend each shopping trip. Always use cash, this will help you stay within budget.

Plan Ahead: Look at what you already have on hand. Utilize these items to plan dinners.

Meal Plan: Take a look at your calendar and plan accordingly. You may need to plan quick 

dinners during busy days. 

Coupon: Check your newspaper for weekly coupons to clip. Many times you will get some in the mail.

Store Ads: Check your local Store Ads. Plan meals according to the sales. 

Shop At Multiple Stores: It may be time consuming, however shopping at several stores will save you money. I normally shop at 3 different stores to complete my grocery haul.
