A very clever meal planning idea from Stacie…that I couldn’t not share with you!
I’m always looking for ways to improve my menu planning! I’ve tried so many different approaches (calendars, binders, computer programs, etc.), but I’ve never quite found the perfect match for me. When I ran across a few ideas about making a magnetic menu planner for the refrigerator, I LOVED them!
After a little tweaking, I came up with two versions:
- a scrapbook version (the prettiest, but it takes more time),
- a recycled version (very frugal and easy).
I love having my magnetic menu for several reasons:
- I can plan my menu monthly or weekly.
- My favorite meal ideas are right in front of me, so I don’t get stuck in a rut and make the same ones every week!
- It is easy to swap out one dinner for another (no pen marks all over the calendar when I need to make a change)!

What a clever idea!
Love that idea!
Yes, thank you finally something that will work for me
This is a super clever idea…but instead of a menu, I’m going to do the same thing with chores for the kids. This will make it super easy to swap things around. Thanks for sharing!!!
For those are not creative…like me…sticktoitplanner.com have similar planners already made and at a decent price! Check it out!
This is a great idea!! I could REALLY use something like this!!
