I cannot say enough how much easier grocery shopping is with a meal plan. No matter how varied or experiential your dinners might be, having what you’re planning on making written down – cuts your grocery list making time in half. You go through each dinner, figure out what you already have on hand to make it & then add what you don’t have to the list. This saves you numerous mid-week trips to the store to get that one item you just don’t have on hand. Add some cereals, milk, coffee creamer and sandwich supplies to the list as well – and you’re good to go shopping.
It’s how I do things anyway, and it’s much easier for me this way. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

I do this too! I right down my meals, the ingredients I need and then add-salad stuff 🙂
Great minds think alike
Great minds, indeed!
Agreed! This is how I do my shopping now too. SO much easier. Great tip!
Yes, especially when grocery shopping with your impatient husband who doesn’t understand the need to ponder the spice aisle for 15 minutes. LOL
Spices are ALWAYS worth the pondering…
