Don't you just hate thinking that, or worse, hearing that?! Here are two templates that I got years ago in YW that have helped meal planning go a lot easier. The first is a monthly menu with slots for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every month I try and plan at least the first 2-3 weeks and do one big grocery trip. At first its a bit labor intensive, but if you do it for about 3 months, you can just rotate your menus, adding new recipes as you feel like it. You won't be eating the same thing every week, you don't have to think about what's for dinner and you'll save money at the grocery store.
The second template is a grocery list that you can modify to meet your needs. I find it easy to check off as I plan my menu. It's also nice to have a list to look at – it reminds me of things we need that I forgot about. If you're really ambitious, you can also arrange it so it matches your favorite store's aisles.
Happy planning!
