The best of intentions
Despite having the very best of intentions meal planning can go awry just like any other very good idea. The busy & buzzy nature of modern life means that the basics can easily get missed even if we know they are really good for us.
Why a meal planner works
Having a paper copy of a meal planner means you get to see it. I would suggest you:
- Stick it in the front of your diary
- Put it on the fridge
- Display it on a noticeboard
- Fill it in at the same time each week BEFORE you do your food shop
Basically, have it somewhere very visible to help you keep track of your week and know if there are any essentials you need to shop for.
