I don't want to be buying groceries we don't use up or have things going to waste. On the contrary, it's important to note that none of my monthly meal plans are ever set in stone. I've found that the ability to be flexible is just as important as the planning itself. I use our meal plans as a guide to keep us eating healthy, using up what we have on hand, and grocery shopping appropriately. When we do eat out, more times than not we are bringing home leftovers.
