I was given a grocery/menu planner as a gift and used it every single week without fail until every page was filled. Imagine my disappointment a few weeks ago when I finished the book, went to find a replacement, only to discover they aren't made anymore. I looked high and low for a perfect planner and just couldn't find one. Many are HUGE and impractical.
So, I decided to put my DIY skills to use!
My aunt, the same one who gave me the original, found these printouts online. Genius!
I chose the one I liked best and cut it down to size. I figured I wouldn't want to carry around a full-sized binder while doing groceries.
I had a bit of a tough time finding this smaller binder, striking out at a few dollar stores and Wal-Mart. But I came across this gem on clearance at Staples for $1.97!
I am so pleased with this DIY project! My aunt said she just Google'd 'grocery and menu planning' and then sifted through Google Images until she found one that suited our needs. I like this one in particular because I like to menu plan every week. Also, it's handy to look back and see meal ideas when I am feeling uninspired!
Good Job!
