Menu Planning and Grocery Budget Cut Day Five

This is the fifth day of on my all meal planning schedule. It's been going even better than I anticipated. It turns out the kids and even my husband like going to the refrigerator, looking up the day on the schedule and seeing what we're going to be eating. Not only has it cut back on waste and meal time mayhem but the best part is I don't have to constantly hear, " I'm hungry, what's there to eat?". This is something I will definitely keep doing, I wish I would have started it a long time ago.

Today also marks day 5 of my grocery budget cut, the bad part is I've already spent all of my grocery budget for the next 9 days. In doing this it has occurred to me that even though I don't want to, I might have to either include more or create a separate budget for household items such as cleaners, paper goods and misc.
