When I was pregnant with my daughter and my son was 2.5, I unexpectedly lost my job. With sheer panic in our eyes, my husband and I took a look at our finances and decided that food was where we could cut. We were spending an outrageous amount (about $300) on going out to eat – for 3 of us! I also was at the grocery store at least 2 times a week, pacing the aisles and grabbing the same stuff for the same 5 meals.
I started planning out our meals and doing monthly grocery trips. Now that I have 4 kids and we’re still on one income, I shop weekly. This isn’t JUST a notebook. It’s a system that will help you plan a week’s worth of meals in just 20 minutes.
