Thu, 30 Nov 2017 12:42:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Fashionista https://vintagecurrent.com.au/2014/11/05/how-to-menu-plan-save-time-money/#comment-29548 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 00:25:52 +0000 http://vintagecurrent.flywheelsites.com/?p=14371#comment-29548 Oh this perfectly plays to my love of a spreadsheet! When we go to our holiday house I spreadsheet a menu plan as I have to take everything with me and the plan is essential. The menu plan drives the shopping and packing lists and the added bonus is that I blu-tak it up on the wall when I get there and I’m not fielding the “what’s for lunch/dinner/snacks” questions as it is there for everyone to read.

Normal weeks the menu plan is on a piece of scrap paper then clipped to the calendar. This year I made a resolution to try a new recipe every week from the vast collection of recipe books I have. That has happened sporadically and we have found some great new family favorites, but I need to be more dedicated to the cause.

I get my menu planning done on a Saturday morning, and it must be with a coffee! Do you have the menu list as well Sarah? I find that’s the key item to making it less tedious and such a quick job. My menu plan is usually done before I have finished my coffee 🙂

Totally agree Sabrina! I make multiple batches of specific meals as well, ones that are perfect for freezing. It’s so good to have a home cooked meal on the nights you are too tired to cook. We actually have an amazing fish and chip shop next door to our house, and I’ve told the owner – when he sees me come in and order, I’m too mentally drained to even heat up a frozen meal – which isn’t that often!

I plan the weekly menus in my house and, while it can get tedious, I find that I’m always glad I did on busy days when I’m exhausted at dinnertime. I also notice that I shop smarter at the supermarket, so less food ends up going to waste because I forget to use it before it spoils. I love your recipe organization. I have a binder with my recipes, and I also use Pinterest to save new recipe ideas.
Kisses,
Sarah

I started meal-planning a few months ago and it is so incredibly handy. As you sad, I shop faster, waste less, KNOW what to cook and save money! I can easily plan two weeks ahead now, no problem.

I also make more of specific staple dishes so the leftovers can be frozen for those times when you come back after a week away and the fridge is empty… or for nights when we just do not want to cook. Home -cooked frozen meals taste better – and are way more wallet-friendly – than takeout.

Meal-planning is making your life so much easier – let’s spread the word!
