Recently, I wanted a white board to have a physical list of homemade healthy food available at home. We didn’t have the money for one so we bought some dry-erase markers and taped old paper bags onto the back of the glass of our rarely used china cabinet. I like having a big visible list in the kitchen so my husband and I could refrain from opening the fridge several times a day. I also like planning a day before or on the day of so I can gouge what we’re craving for and which ingredients we have available that day.
Forgive the handwriting but I listed down several foods and recipes that we enjoy and have been repeats in our diet. We also wanted it to be relatively cheap so we process and prep meals at home to save food. All of the meals and food items listed are vegan. So far, we’ve been saving up great and feeling better with relatively healthier eating :D
How do you plan your meals?

I use the app Paprika -- it works on every platform. Lets me meal plan and make a grocery list for each recipe. Been clipping recipes in it for 10+ years. https://www.paprikaapp.com/
I love how paprika will extract the ingredients and cooking instructions from a recipe site so I don't have to hunt through a page that's a mile long!
