It's Works For Me Wednesday over at Shannon's again. Since I still have a cold this may not be anything that the rest of the world isn't already doing, but it works for us. Menu Planning.
Not only does this practice save time, we have been able to cut our grocery budget in half. Apparently the aimless wandering around the market and the last minute meal planning was costing us much more than we realized.
Simply, every Saturday morning Hungry Husband and I sit down and talk about what we'd like to eat every night for the following week. Then we plan out the list and head to the market.
It helps us save on unnecessary mid week trips where we grab "just a few snack items" that inevitably go bad before we eat them.
Not a fancy plan, nor a great invention, but it definitely works for us.

We need to get back on that bandwagon.
Keep it up!
Works for us too - and with a family of four and toting two kids to the market, kinda a necessity!! :)
