Meal Planning

This past week I decided that Tim and I need to be better at planning out our food. Otherwise we go to the store countless times during the month, and always end up bringing home more junk then the one thing we needed. So I set out to go through all the recipes that we have and decide which ones sounded good, or just wanted to try to see if we would like it, some are also ones I've had before but Tim hadn't, from a class at school. After going through all the recipes, I then made a calendar for the month of September and chose a meal for everyday, knowing that we plan to come home for lunch once school starts so that takes care of leftovers. Saturday we went to Idaho Falls to do our shopping at Winco, we were able to buy everything that we didn't already have for about 100 dollars! That makes me so happy, Tim was freaking out that it was going to cost a lot more then it did, and best part is we bought lots of vegetables so we can eat healthier. We'll see how this month goes but I'm optimistic that it will be great!
