Meal planning is one of the best ways to save on your monthly grocery
bill and a great way to help your family eat healthier and more
efficiently. If you have children, then you have food waste and it
probably drives you crazy. You work hard, clip grocery coupons and
shop smart only to have them throw it in the trash. You can decrease
the level of waste your family has by planning your meals ahead and
shopping only for the quantities you need. Meal planning should be a
family affair and will not only reign in extra food expense, but also
help you have more time in your day.
Sit down with the family during the weekend and ask them what they
would like during the month for meals. These should be easy, quick,
healthy and satisfying. If they want something that requires a little
more time in the kitchen, then offer that as a weekend meal and enlist
their help. Also, plan on a little weekend prep work to make your week
go smoother. Get the kids in the kitchen with your for this too. If
they are older, put them to work chopping the vegetables and product
so it's easier to use. Or have them help you put together and freeze
meals. There are many ways to cut your weekly cooking time way down
while still offering your family healthy meals they love.
Coupons are a big part of meal planning because you are able to only
shop for the items on sale or on your weekly or monthly menu. Take the
time to learn when the sales trends happen in your store and you can
plan your menu around those sales for the best deals. This also allows
you to stay out of the weeknight meal ruts we all get into where we
find ourselves cooking the same thing repeatedly though without
intention. Grocery coupons are there to help and when you take the
time to clip and use them you can save hundreds on your monthly
grocery bill. Whether you need this extra money to pay the bills or
save for a family trip, you can teach your kids the value of a dollar,
saving money and meal planning to truly be free of the kitchen.
