My husband takes for granted my planning and shopping for meals and food. He is always surprised to find that other people do not plan or shop in the manner in which I do. Every week, I decide on 4-6 meals that I will prepare for the week. I try to have a couple chicken, a "beef", a fish or seafood, and a vegetarian one. From the recipes, I draw up a list of what I need to make each meal and then add the other items we need onto the list. I then consult the Internet sites to see what good coupon match-ups are at the grocery store as well as at the drug stores.
This is nice because I don't have to worry "what's for dinner?" I just choose from the list, this makes it a lot easier especially if it happens to be a day that I am working. Another way I save time preparing dinner is I have cooked, sliced chicken in the freezer that I can pull out that morning for any recipe that calls for cooked chicken.
I guess I am a planner, I mean I am a planner. If you want to save money- you have to be able to plan your shopping and meals otherwise you can't save money.
