I also have some blank laminated ones that I can write on with dry-erase markers for "trial" dinners. And I have some generic ones like "Eat Out" and "Leftovers."<br /><br />That way, I can arrange it as a calendar, but easily move things around without a mess of scribbling things out. Here's a picture (not sure if you'll be able to see since we're not FB friends?) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=434789778044&set=a.74225983044.78456.507688044&type=3&theater<br /><br />I usually keep 4 weeks set up at a time, but really just plan one week at a time and rearrange until I'm happy with that week (noted with the arrow). Keeping the four weeks up just helps me keep the variety going. Also notice the little magnetic white dot I use to denote what day I'm on.Ali Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071680246964212045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995455969731211534.post-5268458550804945162012-03-14T20:49:39.519-07:002012-03-14T20:49:39.519-07:00I have found that meal planning is a MUST!

We don't have a plan for Fridays or Saturday's and we usually go out. We have homemade pizza on Sundays that my husband makes, so technically I only cook 4 times. It works well and we have our faves. If I use a recipe, I get it from my all recipes iPhone app. Keep at it and form a routine. It's great for your budget.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725310448387210231noreply@blogger.com
