Meal planning is a time and money-saving tool that also reduces chaos in your day-to-day life. As the busy mother of a family of five, I highly recommend meal planning. Highly!
I was raised by a mom that meal planned a month in advance (and only shopped twice a month!). Add that to my inclination to plan and organize and I’ve created a meal planning process that works great for my family and will work for anyone.
