I like being able to cut down on my grocery shopping. I have a menu in front of me, and I am able to stick to it and not just go to the grocery store with no plan in my mind. Whenever that happens, the grocery bill winds up to be at least twice as much. Ugh.

I am not really a meal planner. When I shop, I think about the meals I’ll make with everything, but we don’t do a real plan. I’d like to get started, though!

I am a meal planner but when school starts I tend to get so busy that I neglect my menu plan. I also don’t plan as well as I should because I don’t always have the correct ingredients.

I’m a part-time meal planner. I try to meal plan as often as I can (on a weekly basis) but some weeks it falls by the wayside! I do think that meal planning is really important because it makes it easier to a) stick to a budget, and b) cook at home. If I don’t meal plan we find ourselves having the “what’s for dinner” discussion which often ends with us going out to eat or picking up some takeout. Not economical or healthy!

I love to meal plan! Even though it’s just my hubby and me, our grocery bill has gone up quite a bit just with every day items. It’s crazy. I meal plan based on the sales at my local grocery store which helps save money. Meal planning also helps me curb those “extra items” by listing out exactly what I’m going to need for the week. It’s a wonderful tool!

I would love to win. As a homeschool mom and I also work a part-time job this would be so helpful.

I’m going to post it on my facebook page and let me friends know about it.

I started menu planning a year ago and never kept up with it until recently. I work part-time and also do homeschooling so I knew I had to have a schedule. I started back on the meal planner a month before school started. My family enjoys knowing what’s for dinner.

Thanks for the opportunity.

I go through times of menu planning and not menu planning (mostly not). I find it difficult to plan due to health and think a service that works around food allergies is different and really helpful!

I am a meal planner. I love it because I don’t have to think about it every day and I have it right in front of me so I can pull out to thaw whatever I need in the morning. I can also plan dinner making and not end up being able to make something because I don’t have enough time.

Pam September 8, 2009 at 2:45 pm

I am not a meal planner…my family is so picky, they always say “That doesn’t sound good” Or my kids have sports and we end up going out. I wish I could totally get organized with this!

I love to plan out my week day meals by using the grocery sales fliers. We never seem to get in much of a meal rut and I save lots of money!

I plan most of our meals each week, mostly to make sure that the food we buy does not go to waste, but it is also avoids that “I’m starving and have no idea what to make” crisis that can happen after work. I am very slow at it, though, and find that it is difficult to keep costs under control and maintain variety.

I would like to do better at meal planning. It would help make my life simplier because both my husband and I work outside of the home.

I am a meal planner, but since I have started homeschooling my son, it is harder to find the time to do it. We eat quite frugally, and I have found that other menu planners actually cause us to spend more money than when I plan our own meals. However, since my time is limited, I am still looking for a meal planner that works for me — this one sounds like it has more possibilities.
