We try to plan 2-3 weeks worth of meals, it always ends up changing but at least we try. It tends to save us money that way because when we go to the store we know exactly what we need and can shop the sales. Some of our easiest ones (and we usually double the recipe to freeze and have later) are creamy chicken soup, srirachi mac n cheese, chicken taquitos, and peanut chicken.

I plan for the week on Thursday and shop on the weekend!

We make a plan for the week sometime before Sunday and shop early Sunday morning. This week we've got:

Chicken, roasted potatoes, green bean salad
Chicken nugget salad
Taco night
Chipotle (I teach and get a bogo meal!)
Eggs poached in marinara sauce and rice
Pork chops, salad, and rice
Mystery Meal (my cousin comes by one night a week and makes us dinner)

Yum! I'm hungry right now!

We meal plan. Every week we have a taco night and a "fend for yourself" night and then the other five meals for the week change. This week we only have 4 because we have a dinner party on Thursday:

Quinoa penne and asparagus in a balsamic sauce
Grilled chicken marinated in Italian dressing with rice and Brussels sprouts
Ribs in the slow cooker with sweet potato fries and grilled squash
Stuffed peppers

We usually plan for 3-4 weeks and make a day out of grocery shopping once a month (on Sat or Sun). It's not a set in stone list but ends up being a list of meals that I know I have all of the ingredients to make.

We usually plan meals out right before we go to the store, and get what we need for it but I don't plan things for specific days. We are very low on food right now, so it's time for me to start meal planning again!

I plan for the week and one or two of the nights are usually leftovers or something like soup and grilled cheese
