menu planning

flymansWife

i'm working on some printables to share on my blog for menu planning and i need some help:

* what day of the week do you typically plan your meals out for? i.e. Mon - Sun, Sat - Fri, or whatever

* Do you plan one week at a time? two? a whole month?

* Do you plan out breakfast, lunch and dinner?

any thoughts/suggestions?

1. M-F - usually we end up having plans 2 nights a week. And frankly, I usually only end up planning 3-4 meals a week & we either have leftovers, put together something from the freezer, or eat with the parents on the odd nights.

 2. A week a time

 3. No, I don't plan out those meals - I just make sure we have stuff around to work for that.

I typically plan dinner at about 5:25 p.m. the same day.

I don't think I'm your target audience.

Or maybe I am EXACTLY your target audience.

lol see my menu planning is - buy enough for 5ish dinners. each day i decide what i'm actually going to fix that day. might be at 8am might not be until 7pm and J is in bed. the menu planner printables that have days of the week on them personally drive me nuts cause that's not how I menu plan

I plan our menu out on Sunday before i head to the grocery store.

I only plan one week at a time and only dinner. I usually plan 4-5 meals each week depending on our evening plans for the week and if any of the meals leaves a lot of leftovers.

looking foward to seeing your menu plans!

On Sundays DH and I plan out our menu. (which consists of me throwing out ideas, and him deciding if he is willing to eat it.) Then I grocery shop on Monday. I only plan 5 dinner meals a week. We usually eat out one night, and eat leftovers the other night.
