After posting a few weeks ago on our "Having Just Enough" writing about it and then reading your feedback has inspired me. I am now writing out our two week meal planner. It really makes life so much easier when you sit down and take time to think about what it is your doing. I had gotten in a bad habit of going into the store grabbing what looked good and thinking it would stretch out for two weeks. This past pay period I sat down and thought, Breakfast for two weeks? Then wrote out what I needed. I also did this with lunch and dinner. I cant tell you how nice it has been having all these delicious meals just waiting to be cooked with all the things I need... I also want to thank Maury for the food storage tip. I used to do that and got out of the habit. I have been making enough to freeze. How nice that is to just pull what is already made from the freezer and warm it up.

Well you are welcome!! It has helped me out a lot...b/c man, there are a lot of days it is hard to cook...and I hate to cook, so it is just as easy to cook double when I do cook. It has saved me a lot of money too! I also write out my meals for 2 weeks too...and you are right, it is nice to know you have what you need. I then make an announcement..."nobody can eat anything without my permission...I may need that for a meal I have planned!"
There is nothing like planning your meals - I am planning my winter list and I am going to STOCK UP cause I hate leaving the house in the winter.
Maury- I told the kids the same thing. LOL
Parisienne Farmgirl- I have been looking mare and more into stocking up.
