Meal Planning

As a mom, I have discovered that planning meals ahead of time helps me with three of my major concerns: time, money, and health. By planning my meals, and therefore my grocery list, I do not spend as much time in the grocery store. Therefore freeing myself up for other important things. Also, planning ahead can allow me to match my coupons, as well as prevent me from buying things I don't need. Furthermore, I like to make sure that my family is getting the nutrition it needs. If I plan my meals, I am less likely to resort to fast food and I am more likely to plan healthy things into the week.
