POTTY TRAINING UPDATE!
Baby, lifestyle
Loads of you asked, so a quick update post 3 day potty training! The method we used: In short: a very intense 3 days of letting accidents happen and…
In short, a list of all the meals we regularly make. And I can’t recommend making your own one of these enough, so grab a pen and paper!
As I head out each week to do a big food shop, I plan the week’s food, check our cupboards, and make a plan. (Read about my exact process, money saving tips, and weekly buys HERE). Planning is THE ONLY WAY, I stay calm, only shop once a week, and keep our family on a great budget while eating clean organic food. It’s possible.
As I sit down to write the shopping list I need a meal plan to build from and sometimes my mind is completely blank as to the options so I find it easier to have a list of the things we love that I can build it from. Usually we’ll modify each dish depending on what we have in the cupboards/fridge that needs using and what is seasonally available.
I’d highly recommend you do the same! If you’re wanting to get your family on board with healthy eating, let them contribute to the list and find the meals that work well for everyone, even letting them help build the meal plan a bit (within some guidelines). When I shop I ask Jared if there’s anything he’s wanting that week, and also periodically if there’s anything he’d like added to the master list.
I also have an idea of the price of each meal, not down to the cent but I know which I pricier and which are more frugal. That REALLY helps me to balance our budget. I don’t fill one week with all the expensive things. If we’re doing a big pizza night with meat pizzas and wine, there will be some extra bean/rice/chicken bowls in the week to balance it out. So either have an idea in your head or even make a note beside the budget friendly, and pricier options on your own list.
