Each month I draw up a meal plan. This usually is done after I must have been to the market and the grocery stores to buy all what I intend to use. My shopping list is usually divided into different sections like meat, fish, vegetables , fruits, canned food, spices etc.Most often my monthly meal plan helps me save time and money given that I can buy in bulk and would not have to run to the market all the time.
Figuring out what the family should eat throughout the month and drawing up the monthly menu also helps reduce the everyday stress sometimes associated with planning meals on a daily basis!
If you are looking for ways of how to go about this take a look at a sample of my monthly meal plan below. You could also find help here
