Money Saving Menu Planning............

I am having a proud moment, I just helped my sister plan her meals for weeks. I then went with her to the grocery store and helped show her some of the ways I have learned to save money. She ended up saving around $100.00 with out coupons (imagine what they would have done). She works from 8-6 most days so when she gets home she cant prepare elaborate dinners but hates to do frozen stuff all the time. I think we came up with 14 meals that she can get ready in around 30 or so minutes. I divided up all the meat and seasoned what I could and vacuumed sealed it into meal sized portions. We browned 3 lbs of ground beef for a couple meals and bagged it up and mixed up a meatloaf. I really hope meal planning will help her out in the next few weeks. I think it is helping a few of the other people I have shown.
