We all have been there. You are going to the grocery store super hungry and buy each and every piece you could eat right away in your car, pay a lot at check-out and still have nothing proper to cook a meal at home.
This is the reason I started meal planning for the whole week ahead cause I have always got groceries after work and it was the same every damn time. I love to use Pinterest, Instagram or my cookbooks as inspo.We don´t cook new meals every week but change up some things from time to time.
So why should meal planning save you time and money
– you will only buy what you have on your list
– you know exactly what you have home and what you are you going to cook so there will be less ordering out
– you save time cause you are not wandering around the store and search for meal ideas
– you also save time by only hitting the grocery store once a week
– recipes are mostly free if you are using Pinterest and Instagram as your source
– you can cook the most versatile menus every week
I first cook all the fresh produce and for example meats and then process all the other products later in the week. I have found an amazing meal planner on amazon which makes the whole procedure very clear. On the left side is a column to write down your planned meals and on the right side is place to make a list off all the ingredients your will need. It can be separated as well so your weekly meal plan can stay on the fridge as it is magnetic.
Try it out and tell me what you think. In my opinion there is always room to improve.
