Daily Time and Money-saving Tip: The Weekly Menu

Thanks!

I really do need to do this. I find myself running to the grocery store more often than not.

You're right on target! This is of the easiest and smartest ways to save time and money! You're right: nobody has to wonder what's for dinner this way! Even my husband has learned to read the menu!

Great tip.

This is what I try to do. It's a great idea!

I end up walking to the market about once a day, for produce or a bottle of wine for dinner. I get fresher veggies and fruit this way -- and regular exercise. If the store weren't in walking distance though, or if was costing me considerably more this way, then I'd definately be doing something like the weekly menu planning. What a great way to schedule in new recipes pulled from magazines and such too! Me, I'm more of a "shipwreck" cook who comes up with meals based upon the ingredients that are already around and then augments that with a leisurely walk to the store .... so planning meals actually ends up costing me more since most of the recipes I'd want to try have far more ingredients then I have around right now.

Thanks for posting this to The Frugal Eats group Rachel! You're getting a good discussion going on this concept of weekly meal planning.

Great idea.
