Do you plan out your meals? Or just pick whatever you feel like making?

I do meal plans every week for the week days. Weekends are leftovers and go with the flow. This way each week has every single food item I need listed ahead of time and I'm able to know exactly how much that week will cost.

I plans the meals we're having, but I don't plan the days we're having them. So we end up having which ever meal I feel like cooking that day! :)

I plan our meals, hubby and I take turns making them.  I hate the grocery store, and it saves so much time and money to plan meals and go the the store only once a week.  And since my son is only 9 months old, he is mostly on formula and I have various things on hand (small frozen veggies, yogurt, etc) that I can feed him.  When it comes to solids with him, it's more "Go with the flow" since he is mostly eating formula.

I plan out meals to go shopping but then pick from that each day. It's easier knowing we have everything for it.

Meal plan. Makes dinner time easier & also I buy less random food at the gracery store, lol.
