Let's make a Meal

Sundays are errands day. We always hit up the grocery store, usually Trader Joes. In my continuous effort to reduce my impact I have been meal planning, i use everything I buy and never throw away bad food when I meal plan. Meal planning has also reduced the amount I spend on groceries(which I track via Mint.com) it is fun to see that part of my pie chart smaller.

I plan our meals on Sundays for the week by looking at what I have on hand, what will go bad, and what our schedule for that week looks like. I also try to do my big shopping trip the first week of the month and then the weeks after are usually smaller. This weeks was pretty much a use up and leftover menu.


As I have mentioned before being a blackberry addict, I write my grocerey lists on my phone. It saves paper and I never forgot my list at home =).
