    Meal planning and budgeting . . . getting started P.4!!!

    I was just realizing how much easier the second two weeks were now that I have all the templates and grocery list done for the first two weeks. I was thinking about starting a second "template" grocery list to accommodate "AOH" always on hand items, like butter and milk, which ARE a part of some...

    I finally got ALL four weeks menu'd and grocery listed! Whew! Now I have to compare the grocery lists to mark off what I have on hand, then mark off what we're geting from the co-op, and whatever is left I can go get at the grocery store. This all seems like a lot of work.

    Hmm.. I think I will stick with a month at a time for now. After this one gets going and I get things more to where I understand the flow of things then maybe I can try for a year.

    OK that took forever! I got week 1 and week 2 down, (and I still have 3 & 4). I started by creating menu with servings amount, and then turned into a grocery list by guesstimating how many servings are in each bag/ box or whatever... (I don't know how to add it right so you guys can see it)...

    K working on transferring all my 2 week foods to a grocery list, then will do it for the other two weeks, then will break it down into your 7 columns. Also, I didn't include toiletries etc... I guess I always considered those separate... should I be doing that too? Will it help save money? We...

    WOW!! That means that you have a budget of $28.33 a day for both of you for food!!! ($850/30). Even if you keep your eat-out money of $250, it still amounts to $20 per day -- a princely sum!!! And the fact that you don't like processed food makes it even easier and healthier!!! I can see...
