Whether you are doing grocery shopping and menu planning there is one thing you should always do beforehand: make a list. It solves everything and can make you save money actually. Of course, you need to plan your week around lean meals and healthy foods otherwise you will need thermogenic fat-burners for all the junk you will eat.

I got this from the How About Orange site, it’s a great way to let househelp or the cook know which one to cook for the day – so cute too!

Another fun freebie from Alma Loveland: a graphic you can download, print, and frame under glass in your kitchen, then use a dry erase marker to write your meal plans on it. The print will fit in a standard IKEA Ribba frame, or you can scale it to a smaller size if you prefer.
