Most often we have leftovers on Sunday. Currently our church services are in the afternoon, so we have a late breakfast and then pack a dinner for our after church picnic.

First I just came upon your blog today and I have enjoyed it very much. You have some great ideas. I am in some need of idea’s right now. We travel to church every Sunday, sense we travel some distance, because of gas, we stay all day. I make meals to go, there for we don’t spend the money going ou to eat, I have ran out of ideas for cheap meals for on Sunday would you have any??

You have inspired me to set out a standard breakfast and lunch plan for each week. I have been menu planning my dinners for years but often the other meals are neglected. I think this is really going to help!

I recently found your blog and have enjoyed reading your posts. I usually plan my menus weekly (a la Flylady), but this sounds like a good idea as well. I’m a bit spontaneous and so I don’t know if I would want to do a whole month at once, but I could see planning a couple weeks at a time.
I don’t think I could manage shopping for a whole month at once, either. We live in a small apartment and don’t have much pantry space and my freezer is tiny!

Great post, Lindsay! I have found that my life is much smoother with an adequate menu plan. I also do much better on my grocery bill!

I am learning so much about how to incorporate real food into our diet from your blog. So thank you for all of the helfpul information you post!

I have a question about snacks. Do you plan those in as well? Does your family snack? We are are big snackers here so I am always interested in finding healthier options for us!

This is a great idea. I have several friends that do the once a month menu planning, and I always have felt very overwhelmed with planning more than a week. But having themes for each day and then picking out variations on the theme sounds very manageable! And it would let me know how much money I have left in the budget for the rest of the month to spend on items I forgot or the farmer’s market. Thanks for the help!

Wow, once again nice to know I am not alone or a freak – lol I use this same method, but twice a month.

Blessings, Beth
