Meal Planning Puzzle

I have tried meal planning for a week and making my list and then shopping. I get to the list and main ingredients aren't on sale and I refuse to pay full price for some items. So that plan goes out the window. I have tried shopping and then making my meal plan for the week and find that I'm missing ingredients here and there for almost every meal.

So this week, I'm going to make a list to stock my shelves with essential cooking supplies, review flyers for the stores I shop at then make a list. I will meal plan possible ideas for the week with extra options and then go to the store.

Once I get home, I will prep and adjust my meal plan right away so problems don't pop up in the middle of the week.

Like any good plan, taking time to reflect and adjust to improve is crucial.
