I am neurotic about meal planning. I usually try to plan out two weeks and include some freezer meals.
There might be one night that I veer off course but for the most part I stick to it.
Do you meal plan or fly by the seat of your pants?

Halfway. I plan things out, and buy what I need at the store but then just make the meals whenever we feel like eating them, and sometimes we make something else with the ingredients instead.

Meal plan every week! i started about 6 months ago and man, it has really made having dinner a MUCH easier (and less expensive) deal!

I used to meal plan 3 weeks at a time. Sometimes, the meals change, but it was helpful in grocery shopping and deciding what to eat for dinner since we're indecisive. Lately though, I've been flying by the seat of my pants because my MIL and a friend's mom has been spoiling me and the hubby by cooking food for us!

I meal plan - including breakfasts and lunches for each week. I'm kind of obsessed with it.
I have a notebook dedicated to my meal plans/grocery lists. I've been using it for a couple years now and it's great to look back through previous weeks' menus when I'm feeling stumped as to what to make.

I try to meal plan. Some weeks I do well, some weeks I don't. Its definitely a frustration for me! I love the results, but I hate sitting down and planning lol

Yep! We would never eat without it. DH always says he "doesn't care" and I'm too tired to think about it after I get home!

We weekly meal plan and then base our grocery list on the plan. We usually end up switching things around or going out to eat one day though

i grocery shop one day a week i usually just plan Sunday-thursday (we tend to have plans fri-sat to go out or order in) and shop for what i need most days its as easy as in the morning defrosting a piece of meat and when i get home cooking that, a veggie and side.
