Hot Tip!

If you head on over to The Project Girl you can download this very helpful organizational tool. It is a meal planner. I used it this week and it really helped me when I planned the meals for the week and then shopped for the food. It helped cut down on my grocery bill because I wasn't buying a bunch of stuff that I didn't need because I thought I "might" make something for dinner. It also forced me to think about what to make this week and not leave it to the last minute and then just get fast food. It is categorized and when you are in that section of the store, you gather all the grocery items you need. No doubling back.

It is categorized by day then by sections like: Dairy, Meat, Canned Goods, Frozen Foods, Dry Goods, Produce and Misc. Super helpful. It took me all of 20 minutes to fill it out.

I got out my recipe books, planned the dinners and then filled in what I needed from the store. Super easy, not time consuming and saved me money. If you click on "The Project Girl" above, it will take you straight to the website where you can download your own.
