Meal Planning Made Simple! Plan With Me For My Family of 12

Today I am meal-planning and making a grocery list and bringing you along with me! I plan all of our breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners for the entire month for our family of 12 and it takes me less than 2 hours a month to do so. This usually includes ordering our food that we buy online and pick up. This 1-2 hours a week saves me so much time and sanity for the rest of the month and makes shopping for an entire month at once very easy. Today I am giving you some simple tips and ideas that I use to make it work for us.

Hey Fam!!! I use a pen and paper. If it's not on the list it's not in the cart.💪😄♥️

@cecectconnecticut344 3 года назад

Me too. I like being able to take a quick glance down at a pad of paper versus having to tap tap tap on the phone.

@andreahowell99 3 года назад

So do I

@SonyaPope 3 года назад

Me too. Sometimes I need to note prices or when a sale price ends. Also if my phone is actually charged, I use it to calculate unit prices especially on sale items. Occasionally, the sale price of a size might be per unit higher than the unit price of a different size.

@tishharding 3 года назад

Just wanted to share how I meal prep - Monday - pasta or one of our new favorite recipes. We alternate. Tuesday - taco type of recipe (chicken,beef or pork) Wednesday - my 13 y/o cooks - usually a chicken recipe because he loves chicken. Thursday- is “new food Thursday” where we pick a recipe out of a cookbook we have & make that Friday - pizza (is a tradition at this point) we make several types of pizza or go to our favorite pizza place. Saturday - leftovers Sunday - leftovers or a “quick meal” think chicken nuggets or another throw in oven meal. We do breakfast & lunch much like you guys! We are only a family of 3 but with working full time and school how it is it helps! Plus we’re on a budget! :-) Love your videos!

@OurTribeofMany 3 года назад

Sounds great!

Planners are awesome. Use one for food and one for curriculum 🥰🙏

@traceyrommel1847 3 года назад

I started meal planning with we were all home because of COVID. Granted there was only 3 of us but it definitely made it easier for me. Now that my son has left for college I continue to meal plan for my husband and myself. Makes life easier.

@dannhorne9782 3 года назад

I use paper planners and journals for everything. I get so much satisfaction from marking things off when they are complete!

@jenniferthomas3570 3 года назад

Can you do a video on how you reduce paper/plastic waste in the kitchen? I never see paper towels, napkins, baggies, etc in your hauls. I am trying to reduce, and think some advice from someone with many more kids than I would be great!

@OurTribeofMany 3 года назад

Yessss...I always go back to it.

@paulanelson1884 3 года назад

Yes me too! I was keeping things in my notes on phone! Then one day went to look for recipe I had in there n it was all cleared out! All my notes! 😱 I have no idea how they were cleared! So back to the hand written planner! 😁

@queengrimhilde8647 3 года назад

I love your vlog. It reminds me of my grandma and grandpa and how they managed with 13 then 10 kids, in the deep woods of Missouri, without any modern conveniences. But your vlog is like a window into a past I never got to see, thank you for that. ❤️

@ritabrunetti381 3 года назад

Pretty good organization!! My mom feed all of us by having similar routines as yours dealing with food prep. She planned our meals for a week at a time. I remember Mom & Dad shopping on Friday nights. We were 9 kids and I realized when I became a Mom that she really knew how to stretch a dollar. We were a one income family. Dad was so appreciative that Mom always kept the house moving forward. Yeah Mom! Loved Dad for loving her.

@alb9549 3 года назад

Great tips & tricks. 😃 We/I make a weekly menu 🛒 it’s so helpful when life is busy with children and other activities. So thankful for the crock pot for sure. Yay to you Sarah for keeping your family healthy & house running High-5 to All busy moms out there! 🤚🏽

@krisharg 3 года назад

I was just talking to my husband about doing a monthly grocery shop instead of every week. Our kids are home for now, and I started an overnight job so we don't need daycare as my husband works shift. Planning and making meals has become so overwhelming and I was mentioning how I watch an awesome family who preps and plans monthly instead. Low and behold today I get on the computer to figure out how to do this, and Sarah has posted a video explaining exactly how. The lord provides 🙏💚 Thank you so much to your family. God bless you all ♥️

@paulanelson1884 3 года назад

krisharg I love to watch this family! I feel like I’m part of their family! Only have me n my husband home now but I still started meal planning in my hand written planner! Is so hard sometimes to just even think of something to cook! Love her organization n their recipes! I even bought some curry powder n ginger powder to try a couple of their recipes!

@shawnetterobinson6859 3 года назад

@MrsPink64 3 года назад

I knew you were my lil sister, not just in Christ! I went back to my old school calendar. I love to fill my calendar. The only days we follow strictly are fish on Fridays and special meal Sunday. We have my brother-in-law for Sunday dinner every week. He is a bachelor who suffers with schizophrenia, so I like to make sure he enjoys a great meal.

@MrsPink64 3 года назад

I forgot to say, I highlight the ones I make, so I know what I have left to make, what I have on hand to make, and if I made too many of one group, and need to skip it next week.

@OurTribeofMany 3 года назад

Sounds like a good plan. So nice you have your brother for a meal!

@brendastephens5893 3 года назад

I use a planner and love it! Old school works, phones and computers can go wonky!

@robinholcombe4366 3 года назад

Labels and a planner?! You are my spirit person!!! I carry my planner and another calendar with me at all times! Phones and computers are too unpredictable! We only have 3 kids but 1 with severe physical and medical conditions so between him and his siblings I need to keep life as organized as possible!!

So true how keeping track can help!

@ashleystrauss6883 3 года назад

I work at Walmart, in the online grocery department, and I place an order once a month as well! It's so nice, and I do enjoy the suggested items that you've already bought!

@kellyquinn1468 3 года назад

Thank you for so many “aha” moments during this video. For some reason the format you present things in makes so much sense to me and inspires me to do better. If Sarah can do it with 10 kids, surely I can do it with 2! Thank you Sarah and Solo! ❤️❤️

@arikaporche 3 года назад

I've seen you do this before but maybe I missed the way you use your planner for it. That's huge for me. I'm so inspired thank you

@mrsbellamy605 3 года назад

@briannaorona6045 3 года назад

Love your system! We’re a family of four and I shop very much the same. It’s a great way to be frugal without feeling deprived. And it’s a great way to make sure nothing goes to waste! About a year ago I started your method of having a week about every two months where we empty out the fridge and pantry before shopping. I love it! ❤️

@jessicavillacorta1997 3 года назад

I still have a planner yessssssss, I'm thankful the world still makes them . It would be no different than having a calendar on your wall and you just simply use that to Mark docker's appointments only you're just filling up for everyday of the week. Thank you so much you're amazing you make my day every single day.

@lynhanna917 3 года назад

Oh I so wish I had known this years ago. I was never taught meal planning, it was open the fridge and stare at what was in there and hope that something other than cheese and toast made it to the table. What a great video thank you for taking the time to explain it all.

@ruthr8959 3 года назад

I also use a planner for meal planning. I like that I can see it and make changes as plans sometimes change.

@lanadixon1822 3 года назад

I still have the old Franklin Planner and I love it! My husband prints new calendar pages for me each year since I am not even sure I could buy them anymore and they were expensive. I meal plan very much like you but on a wall calendar. I started that when the kids were still home because of the what's for supper question. They could check for themselves. We are empty nesters now after raising a houseful and it is certainly a learning curve from the massive amounts of food I used to cook.

@OurTribeofMany 3 года назад

We use our chalk board at times too. I got tired of being asked what was for breakfast, lunch and snack so I just put it on the board. Love the idea!

@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467 3 года назад

Yes I adore the Franklin planner. I'm a pen and paper person. I just love writing things down so I have an actual planner and then I also back it up with notes on my cell phone

@stephikarolyi8706 3 года назад

I like using a "now" and "later" list system to help me prioritize what I need to buy without forgetting any items because I might be low but not out and when money is tight it is helpful.

Super helpful and encouraging- thanks!

@tc7220 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing how you meal plan very helpful!! Hope you a blessed day!!!

@brandiemoorehead7598 3 года назад

I use a calendar for meal planning the same way. On the right side of the page is a place for notes. There I list what we have for breakfast, lunch and snacks. We do the same per day of the week. I for that from your other meal planning videos 😁. I love these videos from you! ❤

@piattfamily842 3 года назад

On good shopping trips I organize my list based on the store....glad I'm not the only one who enjoys being super organized. Not that I ALWAYS am but it makes my heart happy when I am. I ONLY use a paper planners and paper to make my to do list. Low tech. for those kinds of things is my happy place haha. I love watching your videos, you seem so real and down to earth.

I don't use my phone, I use 5 paper planners most days. Two for home and RU-vid stuff, one for the scripture writing plan I create each month, one for budgeting and one for menu and groceries. There are lots of us who use paper planners, I even make videos for three of my planners.

@michellebenoit7153 3 года назад

I love my planner. Its a great way to stay organized. People laugh at my datebook, I don't care. LOL

@mandyblakely5445 3 года назад

I love that you write your meal plan in a real planner, I do that too even though the rest of my life is stored on my phone! 😁 Something about actually writing it down in a planner or on paper makes it register more with me. These are great tips-I am new to the meal planning and this is super helpful!

@chaseutley9 3 года назад

I am a teacher and I always use a hand written planner!

@amladao 3 года назад

Sarah, there is a lot of people still using paper planners. It’s a HUGE community (business). They have stickers to use on planners, conferences to meet other Planner people and TONS of RU-vid channels (also IG & FB accounts) showing how they plan in their planners. There are several RU-vidrs that make their own planners or planner accessories.

@MamaKatsHome 3 года назад

I'm one of those weird planner people, I use 5 most days for different parts of my life. I did have an Etsy shop but before the virus, I had gone on vacation and just haven't opened it back up yet, I didn't sell stickers though. It's insane but it keeps me organized lol.

@OurTribeofMany 3 года назад

Well....who knew😂

@chels67 3 года назад

Paper planners are my hobby. Seven kids and no time for a real one! Lol! But stickers and colours and so many things.

I love my paper planner and am part of many planning communities! It’s a stress relief for me and relaxing to decorate my planner with stickers and such🧡

@amladao 3 года назад

It’s a slippery slope. I just clicked on one video about planning, and now find myself subscribed to MANY planner RU-vidrs. BTW, I’m been using a classic size Franklin Planner for years.

I meal plan for the month too. We have an on going list of foods and I also have them by type of meat, veggie/sides. And I have a sub section for things I cook in the slow cooker. This helps for days we are super busy that I can just start it and go. Thanks for sharing!
