In reply to Luisa @ Looking for mama me. I have been known to do that so sometimes type it right into my phone notes, or use online grocery shopping so I have it all in front of me. And indeed it helps a lot with a baby. That's where my meal planning started :)

Oh I wish I had the time to cook ahead! We are working on planning our meals more now, its a necessity with a baby, but I so often forget the list when I go to the supermarket!

In reply to Peta. It's depressing sometimes how much money can go down the drain when we forget to use stuff. I don't miss that bit.

Great tips – this is something I definitely need to do more regularly! So much goes to waste

In reply to Sara | Kid Magazine. That was one of the worst habits we had before we were planning was so much fresh food waste. Veggies growing strange mould and fruit getting soft and squishy. Yuck!

I like to be flexible with meal planning. I usually buy fresh fruit and vegetables more than once a week so I don’t have to buy too much at once and risk it spoiling when things change.

In reply to Hayley @ House of many Minions. Wow, 8! I suppose my sisters house of 10 is much the same compared to our house of 3 lol that's impressive to have been meal planning so long. You would be a pro :)

I’m a meal planner from way back – at least for the last six years. In the early days there was a bit of trial & error – choosing meals that were too elaborate for my time poor evenings. These days though it’s runs like clockwork & I don’t know how we would operate without meal planning! As for leftovers, in our house of 8 there this is rarely an issue lol
