Nico- do you go and buy your ingredients in one trip?? Curious, I’ve never done a month one before. Usually just a week, but I bet you do save a ton! – Heather
Thanks Heather! I used to shop monthly, but now I seem to be running to the store every week (sometimes 2x a week for diapers and milk) 😉 The menu planning keeps me motivated to get in the kitchen and cook instead of running out for take-out. It is hard to stay motivated right now, it is so hot I don’t want to do anything 🙂
