Printable Meal Planner for 2019

 

As we end 2018 and start a new year, so comes many ‘resolutions’ on things we’d like to change for 2019. I don’t necessarily do resolutions per say, as I see them as wishes thrown to the universe that many do not act on. Instead, I make goals complete with steps to achieve. Attainable, realistic, and true needs for the fresh year.

One goal I do have for 2019 is more meal planning. It’s something that this home could benefit from as planning meals on a weekly basis has many great benefits.

 

Benefits of Meal Planning

 

Meal planning is a stress-relief, since we all know standing in front of the fridge frantic-like is anxiety-inducing. Work, errand,s appointments, activities – planning meals is part of the structure to keep the balance. And yes, organize the chaos.

Doing some planning of the meals also cuts down on the grocery budget, as you are more likely to stick to list and make less trips to the store. This means a lot less chances to impulse buy as well.

It also decreases the time spent relying on take-out and drive-thru meals, since those are usually a last minute decision. While there are ways to save money when eating out, it’s something that can add up very fast, so any one not done is savings in your pocket.

Free meal planning can be done with great success, and a great solution to save money in 2019, and a huge step in being more organized. Is now the time to suggest checking out my Free 2019 Printable Calendar? Ya, I had to.
