Meal planning! It’s something that I LOVE. It saves so much money and eliminates the guess work for what’s for dinner.
Want to know a secret?
I don’t always follow my meal plan by the exact day. What I mean is that if chili and chicken and rice are still left on the plan, and I’m craving chicken and rice. I make it even though it’s not what I had planned exactly for that day.
By meal planning for 10 days at a time, I have SO much flexibility in what I can make. All of the ingredients are in the house and ready to go, so it makes creating meals every night SO much simpler.
It’s also fun not being locked into something that doesn’t sound good that day!
How do you follow your meal plan? Are you strict and stick to it, or are you a little bit flexible like me?
