~Modern Housewife Monday~ Meal Planning

SO I am going to try, and try being the key word, to post a modern housewife tip every Monday. My sister told me about a book she loves, I dont exactly remember the book but it was like the modern girl's guide to everything or something. It got me thinking about the modern housewife; so I started coming up with a few things to help all those Stay at home bitches get it together, and kick moderns ass.

Week 1: Meal planning

I have tried countless times to be a flawless and efficient meal planner, I have failed each time, until I found an app. Yes a freaking app has finally brought me around to being an awesome meal planner!! I was searching for a grocery list app and I wasn't finding what I wanted so I searched meal planning, in which only a few apps came up, I got the free ones LOL, hey I'm frugal, not cheap. I tried them both and settled on Food Planner. It is amazing and everything I wanted plus some! You sign up so that you can sync it with your other mobile devices and your partner's. It is very easy and user friendly It not only let's you plan your meals but you can add the ingredients to a grocery list, and unlike some grocery list apps I have tried it doesn't duplicate ingredients, it just says how many of that ingredient you need. Also the plus some I was referring to is that is has an inventory portion so you can also keep a pantry and freezer inventory!! Awesome right?! I love love LOVE this app and I reccommend it to all moms and wives who like to save money and time by meal planning and want a more technological way of doing it. It does take a little while to get started, inputting all your recipes and such, but In my view it was well worth it!

Do you meal plan?
