Meal Planning Step 5 - Action!

So you know what is on hand at home, you know what's on sale at the store and have coupons for it, you've come up with recipes based on this information...it's time to shop!  Stick to your list!  You can add a few essentials, but put them on your list before you go.  Sticking to your list will save you time and money; of course, so would going to the store with the kiddos!  Now the rest of your week should be a piece of cake...if you are dieting I am sorry for saying that :)  You know what to make each day and have the ingredients ready to go.  No last minute runs to the store.  No more going out for fast food.  Like I said at the beginning of the week, meal planning is the ultimate in multi-tasking for living life a little better everyday. You have saved money, time, and created healthy meals for the week!  Now we all just have to stick to the plan ;)
