Monthly Meal Planning

Meal planning can be a chore for just about anyone, hopefully with this guide and printables you can achieve the goal of planning.

I plan out a month in advance, and here the last couple I have been shopping by the month. It’s been working for now, but I need to streamline things. Maybe planning for the month, but shopping for week? We’ll see. Just click on the picture of the monthly plan to print.

I usually start my plan by making a list of all the dinners my family likes. Then I start filing in the calendar Month then Days, then dinners. I alternate chicken and beef dinners just so no one gets tired of a week full of beef or chicken. We also have lots of homemade soups in the colder months.

Here is an example of a completed monthly menu for dinner

Breakfasts and lunches are not planned as good as the dinners. But i do buy canned tuna, peanut butter and jelly nd canned soups. I also eat leftovers too when there is enough for two.

In the end, just make what you family likes and will eat. The biggest waste of money is throwing way food no one eats.
