Why should I plan my meals?
If you haven’t tried meal planning in advance yet, this will help you a lot! Here’s why I recommend meal planning:
- Time saving: No more 4:00 pm dinner panic. With a menu plan, you know exactly what’s on the menu, what you need, and how long it takes to cook.
- Money Saver: Prepare to be amazed: meal planning does wonders for your wallet. When you organize your shopping list for the week, you’ll be able to easily spot opportunities to buy in bulk and creatively repurpose leftovers for future meals. It’s a smart approach that saves you more money.
- Goodbye takeout: When you plan dinners ahead of time and have groceries stocked up, you’re less likely to hit the drive-thru. Since you’re cooking at home, that means more savings and healthier eating. Everyone wins!

How to Save Leftovers for Meal Planning
I only plan meals from Monday to Friday because sometimes we have weekend plans or I have leftover food to finish the week. If you have leftover food, make sure to store it properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
