Meal Plan like a Pro

Meal planning is the most effective way to save time and money on food. When you have a plan you waste less and eat better. Plan meals that will yield leftovers to eat the next day, or even enough leftovers to freeze and build “fast food” reserves that can help you avoid the impulse to purchase convenience foods when you’re short on time.
