It’s Thursday, and we meet again for this week's Time Waster Time Saver Thursdays.
What’s for Dinnner?
Time Waster: You hear those words, "What's for Dinner?" You look at the clock, it's 5:00pm, and you begin planning what's for dinner, only to discover you are out of one item for each last minute meal idea you have. Now what? Call Mr. Pizza Delivery for the third time this week?
Time Saver: Plan your meals ahead. Step 1: Create a master meal list and choose from it as you plan.
Step 2: Plan out your meals for the month according to your calendar - simple or Crock-Pot meals on busy days, big family dinners on nights everyone will be home to eat, etc.
Step3: Inventory what you have on hand, then make a shopping list and shop once or twice a month. This will not only save you time, but money. Also, shop your local warehouse once a month vs.weekly to save money.
Now when it is 5:00pm you will be ready to answer the BIG question, "What's for Dinner?"
