“CREATE A MEAL PLAN FOR ONE MONTH”

Meal planning is something I'm passionate about, to the point where I've designed a course called Meal
Planning Bootcamp! However, I am well aware that not everyone enjoys meal planning as much as I do.
They enjoy the perks, such as saving money, time, and your sanity on a daily basis. However, not
everyone enjoys the process of meal planning. It must be done, especially if you're trying to save money
on nutritious food... but what if you could meal plan less frequently while still saving money? Wouldn't
that be wonderful? It turns out that monthly meal planning can help you achieve just that! For YEARS, I
developed a monthly meal plan and was able to get the process down to a science, as well as reduce our
shopping expenditure to a meager P5000.00 for our family of four! (That includes organic food, by the
way!) I've broken down the identical strategy I used for monthly meal planning into five smaller chunks
so you can reap all of the benefits of meal planning without the stress and hassle of doing it every week!

HOW TO MAKE A MONTHLY MEAL PLAN


1 – LOOK AT THE FAMILY CALENDAR AND SEE WHAT’S GOING ON.

Search at your family calendar before you do anything else — before you glance up recipes,
make grocery lists, or even look at a sales flier. The concept is that you only have so much time each
night to prepare dinner. You also have less time on some nights. If you have doctor's visits, baseball
games, cheer practice, church potlucks, neighborhood cookouts, or company coming around, your food
plan will be affected. Before you write down any meals, it's critical that you keep this in mind.

2 – WRITE DOWN THE MEALS YOU ALWAYS HAVE ON THE SAME DAY.

You might eat pizza every Friday, tacos every Tuesday, and pot roast every Sunday. Perhaps you
go out on Wednesday nights when children eat for free. Alternatively, perhaps your parents arrange a
family supper on Saturday nights. Make a list of all of the meals you eat on a regular basis. This can be
breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or dessert at any time of day.

3 – BRAINSTORM A FEW MEALS BASED ON WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.

Look through your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry to see if there are any products that can be
turned into meals. If you eat what you already have, you can save a lot of money, so don't neglect this
step. These meals don't have to be spectacular... soup, salad, sandwiches, and other simple dishes can
be nutritious when prepared with healthy ingredients. It's not about winning Top Chef; it's about
feeding your family.

4 – BRAINSTORM A FEW MEALS BASED ON WEEKLY SALES FLYERS.

Once you've used up what you have, look at what's on sale and how you can put it to use that
month. The goal is to concentrate on what's on sale this week and use it throughout the month.
5 – REVIEW YOUR MEAL PLAN AND UPDATE WHERE NECESSARY.

Most of the days should be filled in by now, but if there are any gaps, fill them in with family
favorites, requests, dinners you've been wanting to try, ideas you've saved to your Pinterest board, or
recipes your favorite blogger has just published.

You'll also want to make sure you're getting enough variety and that your personal and nutritional goals
are being met. Consider the following:

 Have you had the same meat for five nights in a row?
 Or a week's worth of pasta?
 Have you planned enough bean-based meals?
 Do you think you could use some more salads? Or how about some more soup?

This is your chance to rearrange things so that you can genuinely enjoy the foods you choose. Feel free
to alter the protein, grain, or produce for something comparable to make it feel like you're eating
something new every night without having to reinvent the wheel.
