Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
As someone who has been meal planning for close to a decade, I’m always curious when I hear people say that meal planning won’t work for them. Their reasoning for why they don’t meal plan is almost always based on ideas that aren’t true: meal planning myths! If they would stop believing these meal planning […]
A little bit of meal prep goes a long way towards being able to make meals quickly throughout the week. I don’t do meal prep in the way you often see it shown on Pinterest, with full meals prepared and divided into servings that just need to be warmed up. But I do spend some […]
Meal planning is the #1 strategy that helps us save money on food. For sure. While I’ve been able to develop my own simple meal planning system over the years, I realize that not everyone wants to do it all themselves. So let’s talk about three ways to get help with meal planning and then […]

I’ve been curious about trying these for quite a while, but never actually did it because of one factor: price. At around $10 per serving, I just can’t justify paying that […]
I wanted to share exactly what our meal plan for a week looks like these days: what we’re planning to eat, where we shop, and how much we spend. A few notes on our diet: We don’t have any severe food allergies. Austin doesn’t do well with dairy, so we don’t eat dairy-heavy foods (except […]
Have you figured out how powerful meal planning is yet? It’s amazing! Meal planning can help you get out of debt, save money, buy a house, stress less, have more time, lose weight, and more. Think I’m exaggerating? It has has helped my family do all of those things! It’s not always easy to get […]
Eating out kills our budget more often than anything else! It’s our weakness. As much as I like to cook, I also very much like to not cook and to eat something yummy someone else has made 🙂 I swear food tastes better when you don’t have to make it yourself! But in the interest […]
