Plan your weekly menu.

We’re a small household, but I make sure to plan our weekly menu every Friday or Saturday night. The great thing about planning your meals, is it gives your family a variety of food to eat in a week and you don’t have to throw away food stuff that you buy  – that you don’t eventually need.

I normally do the grocery shopping as soon as the supermarket opens at 10:00AM. It’s easier to shop with only a handful of people around. And you get choice cuts in the meats section and a fresh batch of produce there in the morning. You can take your time wallowing around the supermarket without worrying about the long lines at the Cashier.

And I shop ALONE – with just my notebook and calculator in hand. D likes to think of impromptu meals sometimes and just plops in anything in the cart – which he forgets to make eventually.

It’s also great to just write everything down in a handy notebook. I have one that serves as my journal, my grocery list, my TO-DO list and doodle book that I always keep in my bag.
