Why should you plan your meals?
If you don’t plan your meals ahead of time, this will be a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by a weekly meal plan.
- Save time: Dinner is easier when you have a plan. Your evening will go a little more smoothly because you already know what dinner is and how long it will take.
- Save money: Meal planning can help you shop intentionally. You can buy what you need, use what you have, and avoid your money growing quickly by buying extra groceries.
- Say goodbye to takeout: Planning your meals and stocking up on groceries will make you less likely to hit the drive-thru. This means saving more money and eating healthier. Win-win!
Each weekly meal plan includes a free grocery list that is easy to print and take with you when grocery shopping. Cross out or check off each grocery item as you go!

Meal Planning with Leftovers
I only plan my meals Monday through Friday. Sometimes we make plans for the weekend and have leftovers to finish the week! If you have leftover food, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
