Meal Planning

My family is starting to use this.  We have always sat down on Sunday evenings and planned out the week.  We have done this for a couple of reasons:

1-We save $ by figuring out what we need and don't just go on snap judgement in the stores.
2-We spend less time in the store- we get what we need.
3-It is less stressful for us because we are prepared for each meal
4-We eat out less...saving money.
5-We stay on track with our diet since we are in control of our list
6-We use it as family time.  Getting together and figuring out what we are doing, where we are going, etc is important for us to start the week off.

I hope that some of you check into this.  It is very neat and puts everything in a neatly organized place.
