MEAL PLANNING

What is meal planning? It's whatever way you organize yourself to cook a meal, whether that's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is the plan you make before you shop. Some people plan a month in advance, freezing neatly-labeled packets of soup and stew.

I myself like to plan 2 weeks ahead. I chose dinner.

I sit down every 2 weeks and make a menu

I inventory my cabinets and use what I have before buying more.
