My list consists of everything I need for the weekly dinners and the rest of our staples. I have to menu plan!! Otherwise I come home with a huge bill and nothing to eat...LOL! I love menu planning. It makes the weekly dinner choices easy and I know exacly what we're having.

Crazy. makes it hard to plan, but maybe I would do better if I did plan.

I could not shop without a plan...too chaotic for me.<br /><br />I make my menu and grocery list on Monday's and then I go grocery shopping on Tuesday mornings. My mother-in-law comes over to look after the boys (I wouldn't get much shopping done with my 1, 2, and 3 year old boys tagging along). When I'm done my shopping I go to Starbucks before I head back home, my little treat to myself!TheFitHousewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162330713011240108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-44288221537609824002009-08-27T14:42:55.732-04:002009-08-27T14:42:55.732-04:00im trying to get back into menu planning. i think ...im trying to get back into menu planning. i think my brain has returned a little since having quinn and i am finding more time to do it now! i tend to shop either friday or satOut of the Box into the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883295843532271705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-47988997286445146552009-08-27T10:57:26.180-04:002009-08-27T10:57:26.180-04:00I shop on Thursdays with a planned list and coupon...I shop on Thursdays with a planned list and coupons to support the cost. I do my best to plan a meal plan out but sometimes it doesn't work out. When it does though - it really makes things so much easier. If I stayed at home I could do it but with work and all it get's rather hectic. :)Alicia W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00580727637588166139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779241084915059888.post-31802135606827239732009-08-27T10:49:12.873-04:002009-08-27T10:49:12.873-04:00I don't menu plan....yet.
