Bev made mention of this so thought I would ask,
For the QOTW ~


Do you meal plan ?
If so .. do you think it helps ?
How many days/weeks do you plan for ?
If not, why don't you ?
Have you ever ?

Let our *inquiring minds* know as always :)

I try to do a meal plan for the week
It cuts down on trips to the store
And those little impulse buys
(important for my budget now!)


I get the M-F plan together pretty well,
But the weekend usually falls apart.
My DH comes home and has other plans.
Or we just get busy and forget about food prep
Until it's to late.

Least you plan well for the week Liz,
Those weekends are tough I know too ::blush::
Maybe you can think of something & get one of the two days right for it.
Either way at least be pleased you do well with the week :)

Wonderful to hear Jeannie,
It does help & save money too I believe.
I love how you put it on your calendar as well.
And you keep them then ?
Good for you on being so organized like that :)

I love lamb Julie,
That will definitely help with your meal planning.
A few times a week isn't too bad though.
Wise to plan with what you have though first :)
