dinner planning

I saw this dinner planning idea

on the Dr. Oz show this week~

the deal is you plan your meals 

and put all of the contents for that meal

in a bin....you really have to plan for 

and execute the meals you decide on

I found some bins in the dollar section at Target,

and put together four specific meals~

this one is for taco night...

this one spaghetti night...

obviously some of your food might be frozen, so

for those items just put a sticky note in the bin

reminding yourself what else to look for. 

I put all (but frozen) contents in the bin, even tomato paste

and packaged mixes for our sloppy joe night. 

The idea is that you don't waste any food. I don't know 

about you, but the hubs and I are notorious for going 

grocery shopping while hungry, then buying stuff 

we don't need because it looks good...

If you specifically plan and cook each meal then you 

will save on your budget and throw away less...

All I know is this will make dinners so easy when school starts!
