Ten Fabulous Free Meal Planning Printables

Once a week we sit down as a family and talk about what we loved about that week’s menu and what we want the following week.  It has started to become a real family affair as both the boys are now preparing and cooking at least one meal a week.  I am a sucker when it comes to stationery, so I have gathered together some fabulous free meal planning printables to share with you.

Do you menu plan?  Did you know that wasting food costs the average household £470 a year, rising to £700 for a family with children, the equivalent of around £60 a month.  Menu planning can save you throwing away food, ensuring the food you buy is what you need and cook with.

Do you have a post that is about thrifty parenting, decorating or lifestyle.  One that is about frugal food or crafts and art.  or even a post about making the post of what you have, then please do link up.  Each week we make sure we pin the post, feature some on our facebook pages and then we each have a round up on a Sunday.

Let’s all share that being frugal can be fabulous.
