Meal Planner

Recently, I had a discussion with a dear friend who was lamenting the price of food. (Amen, sister!) She was cooking more at home and using more fresh produce in an effort to save money/be more healthy/all that jazz.

I, being me, couldn't help but offer some advice when it wasn't asked for. My method is to plan all my meals for the month in advance and make up a shopping list. It allows me to buy meat (tasty, tasty meat) in bulk and freeze it in my charming little deep freezer.

To organize my insanity, I made a spreadsheet. I should pause here and say I love spreadsheets. Weird. I know. I'm going to share this with you all now since, ya know, you didn't ask.
