How to use the weekly meal planner with grocery list
- First, I sit down with the weekly meal planner with grocery list and fill in the dates. I write down any important things that are happening that day if they will hinder meal prep and meal time. IE, football practice, religious ed, husband working late, etc. I know those nights need to be quick and easy.
- Then, I start putting in my meals. I refer to the freezer meal list, my recipe notebook, my Facebook group that shares recipes, my past meal plans and my go-to meals (in the meal planning notebook). Pro-tip, sometimes I use leftovers from one night for another night. For example, pulled pork sandwiches on Monday, pork nachos on Wednesday.
- After adding the meals, I dissect each meal and jot down their ingredients in the grocery list. Don’t forget to put down some breakfast, lunch and snack ideas to add to your grocery list as well!
- Finally, I shop! I use Wal-Mart online grocery pick up so after meal planning, I just submit my order for pick up every Sunday morning.
