We have really implemented menu planning into our regular routine, Saturday morning after breakfast. This is one of the few times Matt and I can actually sit down and discuss what we want to cook, look in the pantry and cabinets\u00a0without being in a rush. This morning we also talked about trying to “clean out the freezers as much as possible” prior to our Disney Trip. I\u00a0don’t usually worry about the freezers in the building\u00a0as I do about\u00a0something happening to the smaller freezers in the house.\u00a0 The plan\/goal currently is to eat and use as much as\u00a0possible in the next 54 days and\u00a0only\u00a0pay small amounts of food if needed with no big stock ups.\u00a0 I honestly don’t thing this is very hard as I was really deliberate about\u00a0buying and completely restocking our pantry and freezers this\u00a0past week. We also have already order 80#\u00a0of chicken, which will be picked up the first week of November. Honestly at this point I don’t even have room to place this chicken anywhere. I am also considering placing a ground beef order for December but this will depend heavily and freezer space as well.<\/p>\n
