Printable Meal Planners and Shopping Lists


I wanted to share a great resource with you that I use all the time for meal planning and shopping lists. The website is called betterbudgeting.com and they have several printable options for keeping things organized. You can choose from a weekly meal planner (breakfast, lunch and dinner), a weekly dinner planner (main dish, side dishes, dessert and grocery list), a grocery list by aisle, and a basic pantry list. They even have frugal recipe cookbook so you can plan some great inexpensive meals. Check it out and see what you think! It's helped me out a lot!
