I plan our meals for the week every Monday. I don't always make the meal on the day that I planned. When I write out my grocery list, I figure out what meals I want to make that week and list all the ingredients I don't have on hand and the amount I need for the recipe if its produce. We've had no problem being within our budget ever since I started planning our meals out and buying groceries according to it. We used to go grocery shopping, come home and then couldn't figure out what we could make with what we had. Sound familiar?
*This also helps us know how old leftovers are, if we had a meal on a different day than I had originally planned, then I cross out the meal and write out the one we had and write the one we should have had on the day that other meal was listed.No more guessing if it's too old to eat!
