Why should I plan meals?
If you haven’t tried planning your meals in advance, this will be a game changer for you! Here’s why I swear by weekly meal planning:
- Save time: Dinner seems easier when there is a plan. You already know what’s for dinner and how long it will take, so the evenings go by a little more smoothly.
- Saving money: Meal planning helps you shop with intention. You buy what you need, use what you have, and then avoid those extra grocery shopping trips that add up quickly.
- Bye bye takeaway: When meals are planned and groceries are stocked, you’re less likely to hit the drive-thru. This means more savings and a healthier diet. Win-win!
Each weekly meal plan includes a free grocery list that’s easy to print and convenient to take with you while you shop. Simply cross or mark each grocery item as you go!

Meal planning with leftovers
I only have a Monday to Friday meal plan. Sometimes we have plans on the weekend or I have leftovers that we can finish the week! If you have leftovers, be sure to store them properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
