Do you plan your meals every week? When do you do this? Do you follow your planned meals all the time? When you write out your grocery list do you think okay Monday we are having ... so I need ... ???? Or do you just go to the grocery store and get what you are in the mood for??? What is easier???

I kinda of do,I figure out what I want for the week,then make my list and go shopping I might not know what days I will have that meal just one day that week,because it all depends on how I feel on what I fix that day.

I don't plan anything. What I want to buy is usually in my head, only the meats change. And then I just keep in mind what date I need to use it by and more or less plan around that. It's completely loosy goosey in my house!

I plan all my meals. I'm with a diet website and it prints my menus for the week as well as my grocery list to prepare everything. I almost always stick to it, it's so much easier than trying to figure out what to make.

we loosely do this as it is subject to change but i do plan the meals for the two weeks that i am grocery shopping for. but we also do go by the spur of the moment in case its not what we want, its too hot, etc. but my list is pretty planned out.

You sound like me! I will plan every thing out then not make it on that day. Meals always end up made but just at different times then I expected.

Yup, I plan my meals, so I would write out the list of meat, vegetables and stuff I would need to buy. If not, I'd end up buying stuff I don't need, or forget to buy things I need.

i actually think it would be cheaper on the grocery bill if i would go through the cabinets and make a grocery list and plan my meals. i have attempted to do this several times, but i get sidetracked most of the time. i go to the store and find that i have forgotten the list at home, etc. i have even tried cooking in bulk, which for the most part did work out okay for my kids, since i work all day.
