I love meal planning. It helps keep me organized for the week and makes grocery shopping so much easier each week. I’ve gone through multiple forms of meal planning but my favorite way is simply writing it down in a paper meal planner each week.

Since I’m a paper lover I am always using paper meal planners. I’ve made my own, bought them from Etsy, and downloaded free printables. I like to change up the style of my planner every once in a while to keep things fresh and fun with meal planning! It’s the little things that keep you going.

Note: If you’re looking for easy weekly meal plans that are actually planned out to save time, I recommend $5 Meal Plan. For just $5 a month, $5 Meal Plan’s meal planning service sends you a delicious meal plan and shopping list every week.

I like to switch things up so I’ve used meal planners on this list, made my own, used plain paper, used a meal planning service and used an erasable board on our fridge! Doing it differently gives me a chance to play around with things and keep meal planning fun even if I’m eating the same meals sometimes. Shaking things up for meal planning makes it super fun!
