Planning my family's meals ahead of time based on what I have on hand AND what is on sale at Publix and Aldi is a HUGE $$ saving plan for my family! This habit of sharing it keeps me accountable! (I share it on my coupon blog each week.)
I try to plan my family's meal plan based on what is already in my freezer/pantry/frig, so that very little shopping has to be done to feed my family for the week, except for the fresh items- such as dairy and produce.
We are once again doing Low Carb, so I plan 5-6 dinners that way and we usually eat out once a week (&/OR we have a cheat day at home). We are trying to get our family on a healthier eating track this new year, as well as getting away from more and more processed foods. My kiddo still eats some carbs during the day, but eats what we eat at dinner time. My Hubby is doing Low Carb, so planning out the entire day has become my "norm" or else he feels like he might starve!! He wants to see his options on posted on the frig!
By shopping the sales/deals and actually planning our menu, I rarely have to pay full price for anything to put together a menu plan. This saves so much money for my family! Try it, it will work for you too!
